five o'clock
By her side he had explored with her the familiar paths in the park which until then had been all her own . He had made himself a part of them . Never again could she follow them without , in a sense , having him with her . She realized this because when , at five o'clock , she had told him to leave her at the foot of the Elevated , she had watched him out of sight , and then , instead of going home as she intended , she had turned and gone back to the park . She had a vague notion that she must put her life back upon its normal basis before returning to her room . If only for a few moments , she must go over the old paths alone . It was impossible .
