five o'clock
Mr. Dinwiddie sighed and shrugged his shoulders . But his eyes were bright . He would have a love drama under his very nose . Mary 's `` headache '' had continued for two days , but Clavering came to her house by appointment that same afternoon at five o'clock . She kept him waiting fully ten minutes , and wandered back and forth in her room upstairs with none of her usual eagerness to welcome him after even a brief separation . The violence of her revulsion had passed , but she was filled with a vast depression , apathetic , tired , in no mood for love-making . Nor did she feel up to acting , and Clavering 's intuitions were often very inconvenient .
