five o'clock
The Gardens were a green paradise with the spirit of Brodrick moving in them like a god . The High Street was a golden road with Brodrick at the end of it . The whole world built itself into a golden shrine for Brodrick . He was coming to see her at five o'clock . He was not there , in her room , when she arrived . But he had been there so often that he pervaded and dominated the place , as Tanqueray had once dominated and pervaded it . He had created such a habit , such a superstition of himself that his bodily presence was no longer necessary to its support .
