five minutes after two
About noon Jimmie called up the factory while Reyburn was out to lunch and told Jane that he expected to go out at two o'clock . Could she meet him and walk a little way with him ? Jane said no , she could n't , but she would try and see him the next day , then he could tell her how he had `` made out . '' At exactly five minutes after two , Jane , having watched from a telephone booth in a drug store until Jimmie went by , hurried up to Reyburn 's office and tapped on the door , her heart in her mouth lest he should be occupied with some one else and not be able to see her before her few minutes of leave which she had obtained from the factory should have expired . Reyburn himself opened the door to her , and treated her as if she had been a lady every inch , handing her a chair and speaking quite as if she were attired in sealskin and diamonds . She looked him over with bright eyes of approval . Jane was a born sentimentalist , fed on the movies .
