ten o'clock
There seemed to Philip to be in her something of the Madonna . He wished they could continue in that same way always . He was happier than he had ever been in his life . He used to leave her at ten o'clock every night , for she liked to go to bed early , and he was obliged to put in another couple of hours ' work to make up for the lost evening . He generally brushed her hair for her before he went . He had made a ritual of the kisses he gave her when he bade her good-night ; first he kissed the palms of her hands -LRB- how thin the fingers were , the nails were beautiful , for she spent much time in manicuring them , -RRB- then he kissed her closed eyes , first the right one and then the left , and at last he kissed her lips . He went home with a heart overflowing with love .
