about eight o'clock
Perhaps he has never had a sweetheart . He is not without physical desire but he is not primarily concerned with desire . On the evening when the Iowa woman was ordered to leave the west-side house , she waited until she thought the landlady had gone down stairs , and then went into LeRoy 's room . It was about eight o'clock and he sat by a window reading a book . The woman did not knock but opened the door . She said nothing but ran across the floor and knelt at his feet . LeRoy said that her twisted foot made her run like a wounded bird , that her eyes were burning and that her breath came in little gasps .
