three o'clock
Denas went to Priscilla Mohun 's . Reticence is a cultivated quality , and Denas had none of it ; so she told the whole story of her ill-treatment to Priscilla and found her full of sympathy . Priscilla had her own little slights to relate , and if all was true she told Denas , then Elizabeth had managed in a week 's time to offend many of her old acquaintances irreconcilably . Denas remained with Priscilla until three o'clock ; then she walked down the cliff to the little glade where she hoped to find Roland . He was not there . She calculated the distance he had to ride , she made allowance for his taking lunch with Caroline Burrell , and she concluded that he ought to have been at the trysting-place before she was . She waited until four o'clock , growing more angry every moment , then she hastened away .
