four o'clock
Only a few minutes back , he had been steeped in pity for her ; now it seemed as if no one had less need of pity or sympathy than she . He was bewildered , and went home to pass alternately from a mood of rapture to one of jealous despair . And the latter was torturous , for , as they walked , Madeleine had let fall such a vile suspicion that he had parted from her in anger , calling as he went that if he believed what she said to be true , he would never put faith in a human being again . In the light of the morning , of course , he knew that it was incredible , a mere phantasm born of the dark ; and towards four o'clock that afternoon , he called at the BRUDERSTRASSE with the change . But Louise was not at home , and as he did not find her in on three successive days , he did not venture to return . He wrote his name on a card , and left this , together with the money , in an envelope . After parting from the rest , Dove and the two Cayhills continued their way in silence : they were in the shadow thrown by the steep vaulting of the THOMASKIRCHE , before a word was exchanged between them .
