eight o'clock
It was Fanchette who loaned her money when she was indolent , and who prompted her to ask favors beyond his means . Toward the end of every month Ralph 's money ran out , and then he was petulant and often upbraided her . Those were the only times when he essayed to study , and he would not walk with her of evenings , so destitute . Then Fanchette amused her : `` Sew in my room , '' she would say ; `` Ralph will come for you at eight o'clock . '' But Ralph never went , and Fanchette poisoned his little girl 's mind . `` When will you leave Paris , baby ? '' said Suzette one evening , as she returned from her friend 's and found him sitting moodily by the fire .
