about five o'clock
Was n't that nice of them ? But it was just like both of them . So I was quite excited , of course , and when it poured rain all day , and got worse and worse , I did feel so sorry for them and never expected they 'd leave town . But , lo and behold , about five o'clock did n't the boy bring up their cards , and for a wonder my patient was decent and said she would n't want me till next morning -- she had her own maid with her and really did n't need me but once a day . I ran down to one of the little reception rooms -- I must say I like those big hotels -- and when I saw them I nearly collapsed , for though she was looking perfectly beautiful and well as could be , poor Mr. Ferrau certainly did give me a shock . He was all tanned , well enough , but as thin as a rail , and dreadful around the eyes . And yet he looked very happy and seemed quite glad to see me .
