five o'clock
I can row a great deal quicker with only one in the boat . Here , dear , '' she said , taking off her watch , and hanging it round his neck , `` you can have this to keep you from being lonely , and you can tell by this how long it will be before I get back . Watch the hands , and that will make the time seem shorter , they go so fast . It will take me about half an hour ; that will be -- let me see -- yes -- just five o'clock . There is a good long daylight after that ; '' and , kissing him , she jumped into the boat and pushed off . What a moment it was . Her arms seemed to be paralyzed ; but , summoning all her will , she drove the boat resolutely forward , and looked no more back at Raby .
