six o'clock
There was a short silence , and then Mr. Woodstock began to speak more calmly . The conversation lasted only about a quarter of an hour . Mr. Woodstock then returned to his cab , which had waited , and Julian bade him good night at the door . At six o'clock Julian arose . It was still quite dark when he left the house , and the air was piercing . But he did not mind the weather this morning . His step had a vigour very different from the trailing weariness of the night before , and he looked straight before him as he walked .
