about six o'clock
Doctor Deberle and Helene seemed good friends , whose sensible and somewhat reserved natures sympathized well . Thus it was that Juliette frequently declared : `` Oh , you two would get on capitally ! Your composure exasperates me ! '' The doctor returned from his round of visits at about six o'clock every evening . He found the ladies in the garden , and sat down beside them . On the earlier occasions , Helene started up with the idea of leaving her friends to themselves , but her sudden departure displeased Juliette greatly , and she now perforce had to remain . She became almost a member of this family , which appeared to be so closely united .
