two o’clock
I am sure of this , because my mother 's eyes sought the clock on the chimney piece when we entered the dining-room together and mine followed them . It was half-past five when I saw her again in the drawing-room . I am equally sure of this because she kissed me three times rather effusively and I was obliged to look at my watch to hide my embarrassment . Between two o'clock and half-past five I lunched , smoked , read , slept , and played a part in certain other events . This makes it tolerably certain that I did not sleep for more than an hour and a half . I was wakened by a most violent opening of the greenhouse door and a tempestuous rustling of the fronds of the tree fern which I had moved . Then Lalage burst upon me .
