two o'clock
This settled the apartment question , and Fanny was presently established in a greater contentment than she had known for a long time . Early every morning she made something she called -LRB- and believed to be -RRB- coffee for George , and he was gallant enough not to undeceive her . She lunched alone in her `` kitchenette , '' for George 's place of employment was ten miles out of town on an interurban trolley-line , and he seldom returned before seven . Fanny found partners for bridge by two o'clock almost every afternoon , and she played until about six . Then she got George 's `` dinner clothes '' out for him -- he maintained this habit -- and she changed her own dress . When he arrived he usually denied that he was tired , though he sometimes looked tired , particularly during the first few months ; and he explained to her frequently -- looking bored enough with her insistence -- that his work was `` fairly light , and fairly congenial , too . '' Fanny had the foggiest idea of what it was , though she noticed that it roughened his hands and stained them .
