About noon
said Jimmie , watching his employer with rapt admiration . He had no higher ambition than to look like Warren Reyburn and have an office of his own . `` Yes , I was there , '' said Reyburn again , but his tone was so far off that Jimmie dared approach no nearer , and resumed the letter he was typing . About noon Jimmie called up the factory while Reyburn was out to lunch and told Jane that he expected to go out at two o'clock . Could she meet him and walk a little way with him ? Jane said no , she could n't , but she would try and see him the next day , then he could tell her how he had `` made out . '' At exactly five minutes after two , Jane , having watched from a telephone booth in a drug store until Jimmie went by , hurried up to Reyburn 's office and tapped on the door , her heart in her mouth lest he should be occupied with some one else and not be able to see her before her few minutes of leave which she had obtained from the factory should have expired .
