five o’clock
I had a notion that the cordon was still tight round the glen , and that if I walked in any direction I should meet with questioners . But get out I must . No man 's nerve could stand more than a day of being spied on . I stayed at my post till five o'clock . By that time I had resolved to go down to Turnbull 's cottage at nightfall and take my chance of getting over the hills in the darkness . But suddenly a new car came up the road , and slowed down a yard or two from me . A fresh wind had risen , and the occupant wanted to light a cigarette .
