ten o'clock
A fresh young girl and a youth , and a father and mother . People who would certainly play billiards and probably bridge . What did anything matter in the world ? Time must be got through , simply got through until ten o'clock -- that was all . At half-past nine he strode out and sat upon the bench . His thoughts went back in a constant review of the day . How she had looked , where they had sat , what she had said .
