three in the afternoon
Now I concluded to go down into my old neighborhood and get a lodging where no references were asked . Next day I would secure a disguise and get out of the way . I had passed the day without food , as I have just said , and having ample means , concluded to go somewhere and get a good dinner . It was now close to three in the afternoon . I was aware of two things : that I was making many plans , and giving them up as soon as made ; and that I was suddenly afraid without cause , afraid to enter an eating-house , and in fear of every man I met . I went on , feeling more and more chilly . When a man is really cold his mind does not work well , and now it was blowing a keen gale from the north .
