three o'clock
Well -- the marriage had been a wild and foolish thing for both . But Euphemia was back again with them in the San Francisco house ; she had talked of coming to Tasajara to-day , perhaps she might be there tonight . And , good heavens ! it was actually three o'clock already , and they must start at once for the Hall . She would go and get her hat and return instantly . It was true ; he had been talking with her an hour -- pleasantly , intelligently , and yet with a consciousness of an indefinite satisfaction beyond all this . It must have been surprise at her transformation , or his previous misconception of her character .
