half past four
A sound of pails clanking came from the yard . That was Minchin , the cow man , going from the dairy to the cow sheds . Milking time , then . It must be half past four . Five o'clock , the slamming of the front door , the click of the gate , and the Kimbers ' voices in the road below as they went towards Wyck . Anne was alone . Only half an hour and Jerrold would be with her .
