two o'clock
I am going to see him because I was once very fond of him , because I caused him , through no fault of mine , a great deal of suffering -- because it appears that he 's dying for love of me . I know he 'd like to see me before he dies , that 's why I am going , and yet horrid thoughts will come into my head ; to hear me thinking , any one would imagine it was only on account of my own vanity that I wanted to see him , whereas it is quite the contrary . As a rule I hate sick people , and I 'm sure it is most disagreeable to me to meet that woman . ' The two o'clock train took her to town , a hansom from Victoria to the studio ; she dismissed the hansom at the corner and walked up the street thinking of the woman who would open the door to her . There was something about the woman she did n't like . But it did n't matter ; she would be shown in at once , and of course left alone with Ralph ... Supposing the woman were to sit there all the while . But it was too late now , she had knocked .
