nearly two o'clock
To sin is easy enough , but to make up for it is above all difficult for a woman . For some time past all easy approaches for communion with my husband have been closed to me . How then could I burst on him with this stupendous news ? He was very late in coming for his meal today -- nearly two o'clock . He was absent-minded and hardly touched any food . I had lost even the right to press him to take a little more . I had to avert my face to wipe away my tears .
