Half past two
Her mind went back and back to Jerrold , to the morning of today , to the evening of last Sunday , going over and over the things they had said to each other ; seeing Jerrold again , with every movement , every gesture , the sudden shining and darkening of his eyes , and his tense drawn look of pain . How she must have hurt him ! It was his looking at her like that , as if she had hurt him -- Anne never could hold out against other people 's unhappiness . Half past two . She kicked off her shoes , put on her thick boots and her coat , and walked two miles up the road towards Medlicote , for no reason but that she could n't sit still . It was not four o'clock when she got back . She went into the kitchen and looked at the lamb again .
