two o'clock in the afternoon
Here , remote from his friends , he had chosen to live , in two rooms which he had fitted up more than comfortably with recent purchases . Even Jimmie did not know where he was -- never dreamed of looking for him on the Surrey side . His brain was too active for sleep , and he sat up smoking another hour . It was two o'clock in the afternoon when Jack awoke from an unrefreshing slumber ; his head was heavy , and he would have liked to remain in bed for the rest of the day . He remembered that he had two engagements ; he had promised to attend a `` do '' at a studio in Joubert Mansions , Chelsea , where he would meet a lot of Tony Mostyn 's set , and make night noisy until the wee hours of the morning . At four o'clock he started to dress for the evening . At five a cab put him down in Pall Mall , opposite the premises of Lamb and Drummond .
