two o’clock
` I am not a bit hungry , my good Teuse , ' Serge replied , smiling . ` Well ! how can one wonder at it when you go on as you do ! But you would have been hungry , if you had n't lunched at past two o'clock . ' Brother Archangias , tilting into his spoon the last few drops of soup remaining in his plate , said gravely : ` You should be regular in your meals , Monsieur le Cure . ' At this moment Desiree , who also had finished her soup , sedately and in silence , rose and followed La Teuse to the kitchen . The Brother , then left alone with Abbe Mouret , cut himself some long strips of bread , which he ate while waiting for the next dish .
