three o'clock
He was aware that his brother had behaved to him badly , and he had determined not to be over courteous , -- unless , indeed , he should find his brother to be dangerously ill . But above all things he would avoid all semblance of inquisitiveness which might seem to have a reference to the condition of his own unborn child . He walked up and down St. James ' Park thinking of all this , looking up once at the windows of the house which had brought so much trouble on him , that house of his which had hardly been his own , but not caring to knock at the door and enter it . He lunched in solitude at his club , and exactly at three o'clock presented himself at Scumberg 's door . The Marquis 's servant was soon with him , and then again he found himself alone in that dreary sitting-room . How wretched must his brother be , living there from day to day without a friend , or , as far as he was aware , without a companion ! He was there full twenty minutes , walking about the room in exasperated ill-humour , when at last the door was opened and his brother was brought in between two men-servants .
