one o'clock
At other tables , other aristocratic members of the troupe . The humbler have cooked their food in the vague precincts of the circus . We have returned to all that Ben and his wife know as home . It is one o'clock . At two , matinee . An hour of blissful ease . We are in the shade of the great tent ; but the air is full of the heavy odour of the dust and the flowers and the herbs of the South , and of the pungent smell of the long row of canvas stables .
