about eight in the evening
Janina could not understand either her violent anger , or her last words . The days sped on . Janina absorbed the theater into herself ever more deeply . She attended the rehearsals regularly , afterwards went to give lessons for two hours to Cabinska 's daughter , and later would go home for dinner , prepare her wardrobe for the performance , and at about eight in the evening start off again for the theater . On the days when no operettas were played and the choruses were free , she went to the Summer Theater and there , squeezed high up in the gallery , spent entire evenings dreaming . She devoured with her eyes the actresses , their gestures , costumes , mimicry , and voices . She followed the action of the plays so closely that later she could re-create them in her mind with detailed accuracy and often , after returning from the theater , she would light the candles , stand before the large mirror , and repeat the acting which she had seen , observing intently every quiver of her facial expression and trying out every conceivable pose .
