three o'clock
Again and again her eyes met his , as they had met them at that consummate moment , discovering her soul to him . Again and again he knelt before her , and kissed her hands , warm and soft , and sweet with that faint perfume which caused cataclysms in his heart . He went home , he went in to luncheon . Somehow he must wear out the time till three o'clock . `` Come back at three o'clock -- and I will tell you something . '' What had she to tell him ? What would he hear when he went back at three o'clock ?
