three o'clock
You know what Faulkner is ; and I can understand that if he met Julian he would most likely say something to him , and there might then be a quarrel ; but I think that his story about Julian coming out and looking at him is either pure fancy or a lie . No doubt he was thinking of him as he rode along ; and , badly wounded as he was , perhaps altogether insensible , he may have imagined the rest . '' `` That is all quite possible , '' the doctor agreed ; `` but in that case Julian 's not coming home is all the more extraordinary . If he met Faulkner between two and three o'clock , what can he have been doing since ? '' This was a question Frank could not answer . `` I ca n't tell , sir , '' he said after a long pause ; `` I really ca n't imagine . Still , nothing in the world would make me believe that Julian did what he is charged with . ''
