about five o'clock
Next morning it fell about that Stella Rawson was allowed to go into the Musso Nazionale in the Diocletian baths , accompanied only by Martha , her uncle and aunt having decided they would take a rest and write their English letters . The museum was so near , a mere hundred yards , there could be no impropriety in their niece 's going there with Martha , even in an exhibition year in Rome . Stella was still suffering from a nameless sense of depression . Eustace 's train would get in at about five o'clock , and he would accompany them to the Embassy . A cousin of her own and Aunt Caroline 's was one of the secretaries , and had already been written to about the invitation . So that even if Count Roumovski should be presented to her , and make the whole thing proper and correct , she would have no chance of any conversation . The brilliant sunlight felt incongruous and hurt her , and she was glad to enter the shady ancient baths .
