four o'clock
Those thoroughfares , telescoping each other , one after another , seemed as if they would never come to an end . How tired I was ! Even baby was no longer light , and the parcel on my wrist had become as heavy as lead . Towards four o'clock I came to a broad parapet which had strips of garden enclosed by railings and iron seats in front of them . Utterly exhausted , my arms aching and my legs limp , I sank into one of these seats , feeling that I could walk no farther . But after a while I felt better , and then I became aware that another woman was sitting beside me . When I looked at her first I thought I had never in my life seen anything so repulsive .
