two o'clock
At the moment Rodin approached the font he perceived the tall figure of the half-caste standing out from the midst of the dark shadow ; advancing a little , Faringhea bowed respectfully to Rodin , who said to him , in a low voice ; `` Come to me at two o'clock . '' So saying , Rodin stretched forth his hand to dip it into the holy water ; but Faringhea spared him the trouble , by offering him the sprinkling brush , which generally stood in the font . Pressing between his dirty fingers the damp hairs of the brush , which the half-caste held by the handle , Rodin wetted his thumb and forefinger , and , according to custom , traced the sign of the cross upon his forehead . Then , opening the door of the chapel , he went out , after again repeating to Faringhea : `` Come to me at two o'clock . '' Thinking he would also make use of the sprinkling-brush , which , Faringhea , still motionless , held with a trembling hand , Father Caboccini stretched out his fingers to reach it , when the half-breed , as if determined to confine his favors to Rodin , hastily withdrew the instrument . Deceived in his expectation , Father Caboccini lost no time in following Rodin , whom he was not to leave that day for a single moment , and , getting into a hackney-coach with him , set out for the Rue Saint-Francois . It is impossible to describe the look which the half breed fixed upon Rodin as the latter quitted the chapel .
