one o'clock in the morning
Not without reason is the Roman Catholic altar incomplete without a bone of some dead man . As for the thing which had been stolen , that affected them but little . What does it matter -- the loss of what was promised but five minutes since ? It was one o'clock in the morning when Lala Roy left them . They sat at the window , hand-in-hand , and talked . The street below them was very quiet ; now and then a late cab broke the silence , or the tramp of a policeman ; but there were no other sounds . They sat in darkness because they wanted no light .
