three in the afternoon
`` As soon as I have handed my corporal over to the military jailors , I know where I shall go to smoke a cigarette ! '' `` You are alone , Wilhelmine ? '' Mademoiselle de Naarboveck had just left the house in the rue Fabert . It was three in the afternoon , and she was going shopping . At the corner of the rue de l'Université she came on Henri de Loubersac . It was a delightful surprise . She had not seen him for several days .
