about five o'clock
Alma went to her bedroom and lay there for an hour or two , then she strayed to the nursery and sat a while with Hugh and his governess . At luncheon she had no more appetite than at breakfast , though for very faintness her body could scarce support itself . After the meal Harvey went out to procure the earliest evening papers , and on his way he called at the doctor 's house . Not till about five o'clock was a report of the Wimbledon inquest obtainable . Having read it , Harvey took the paper home , where he arrived just as the doctor drove up to the door . Alma was again lying down ; her eyes showed that she had shed tears . On Harvey 's saying that the doctor was in the house , she answered briefly that she would see him .
