four o'clock
I had also the feeling that I had a great many things to do , and could not possibly get them done in so short a space of time as one day . I hurried through breakfast . I hurried through the papers . And then I realized with a sense of anti-climax that until four o'clock , when I was to ride with Lucy , I had but one thing of any possible importance to do . And upon that business from first to last including the walk to the village and thence to the Club I spent no more than three-quarters of an hour . It had been an eccentric piece of business , and I was rather pleased with myself for having brought it to a satisfactory conclusion . But I wanted others to know what I had done and to be pleased with me for doing it ; and to tell anyone was quite out of the question .
