one o'clock
The more Huntley brooded , in this unhappy mood , over his wife 's words and conduct , the denser and more widely refracting became the medium through which he saw . His pride continually excited his mind , and threw a thick veil over all the gentler emotions of his heart . He was beside himself . At one o'clock he found himself standing in front of the United States Hotel , his mind made up to desert the affectionate young creature , who , in a moment of thoughtlessness , had set her will in opposition to his , -- to leave the city , under an assumed name , by the earliest lines , and go , he knew not nor cared not where . Blind passion was his prompter and guide . In this feverish state he entered the hotel and called for a bed . Eleven , twelve , one o'clock came , and found Mrs. Huntley in a state of wild agitation .
