two o'clock
Some of father 's friends and one or two of the young men I knew stopped at our table to shake hands , but very little was said , and of the trial nothing at all . For all their trying to be easy and natural , I could see that my presence embarrassed them . I could see them glancing at me as if they wondered what sort of person I could be -- as though I had become something different from a girl by answering questions in the witness-box . By two o'clock we were back in court again ; and how changed everything seemed ! All that desultory feeling of the morning was gone , and as I looked about over the faces I could see how every one 's mind was fixed on the same thing . A woman whom I did not know , jostling at my shoulder as I went in , confided to me that what she wanted was , `` To hear Dingley tear the defense to pieces . '' I wondered if the only people in the room who did n't want to hear that were myself and the Spanish Woman .
