five o'clock
As we were leaving the table , Sophie , passing close by me , said quite low , `` I would not say anything about the German class , Pauline . And it was a great deal better that you should go ; you know Richard has not many holidays . '' `` Yes , but you do n't give up all your pleasures for him , '' I thought , but did not say . I went quickly to my room , and saw no one till I came down-stairs at five o'clock . I had on a veil , for my face was rather flushed , and my eyes somewhat the worse for crying . Richard was waiting for me at the foot of the stairs , and accompanied me silently to the wagon , which stood at the door . As we passed the parlor I could see , on the east piazza , Mr. Langenau and Charlotte already at their books .
