six o’clock
One of us absorbed in his writing ; the other absorbed in her love . Hour after hour he lay in his deep sleep . The light of the new day grew and grew in the room , and still he never moved . Towards six o'clock , I felt the warning which told me that my pains were coming back . I was obliged to leave her alone with him for a little while . I said I would go upstairs , and fetch another pillow for him out of his room . It was not a long attack , this time .
