one o'clock
Several times when he had had business in Los Angeles she had met him at his hotel and dined with him . She reasoned that he would come straight to the house and get her , and then they would go to one of the big hotels for lunch before they started . `` I sha n't feel like myself , '' said Eileen , `` until we are well on the way to San Francisco .

At half past she almost wished that she had had the good sense to have some lunch , since she was very hungry and under tense nerve strain . Once she paused before the glass , but what she saw frightened her .
