three o'clock
I suppose that they did not know Conroy personally . If they had known him they would have appreciated my character sketch . I called it , I remember , `` Our Contemporary Pirates , '' a title which ought to have been attractive . At three o'clock , just as I was finishing my article , I heard Conroy 's motor on the gravel outside my window . He appeared at breakfast looking fresh and cheerful . None of us asked him where he had been the night before , and he did not offer us any information . After breakfast he asked me to go for a walk with him .
