two o'clock
Five thousand cases a week -- what an output , and what a turnover ! I had soon finished my breakfast and was off again . During my walk I was able to admire a few magnificent Lesghians ; these wore the grayish tcherkesse , with the cartridge belts on the chest , the bechmet of bright red silk , the gaiters embroidered with silver , the boots flat , without a heel , the white papak on the head , the long gun on the shoulders , the schaska and kandijar at the belt -- in short men of the arsenal as there are men of the orchestra , but of superb aspect and who ought to have a marvelous effect in the processions of the Russian emperor . It is already two o'clock , and I think I had better get down to the boat . I must call at the railway station , where I have left my light luggage at the cloakroom . Soon I am off again , bag in one hand , stick in the other , hastening down one of the roads leading to the harbor . At the break in the wall where access is obtained to the quay , my attention is , I do not know why , attracted by two people walking along together .
