nearly five o'clock
Coming as she was out of the country quiet , she was quite unmoved by the thundering rush of the city streets . She might have been deaf and blind for all the impression it had upon her . Her own nature had grown so intense that it apparently had emanations , and surrounded her with an atmosphere of her own impenetrable to the world . It was nearly five o'clock when she reached her station , and the train was ready . It was half-past five when she arrived in Elliot . She got off the train and stalked , as if with a definite object , around the depot platform . She did not for one second hesitate or falter .
