midday
You 'll find Jocelyn in the verandah . '' When Maurice left her , Jocelyn went out into the verandah . It was the beginning of the hot season . At midday the sun on his journey northward no longer cast a shadow . Jocelyn could not go out in the daytime at this period of the year . For fresh air she had to rely upon a long , dreamy evening in the verandah . She sat down in her usual chair , while the moonlight , red and glowing , made a pattern on the floor and on her white dress with the shadows of the creepers .
