five o'clock
Tommy had been her duty , and she had neglected him . At length one day she made a further discovery . She was sitting by the bed , and for over an hour the child had lain still , his eyes half shut . It was five o'clock and a dark afternoon , so that the room was full of shadows . Suddenly Tommy turned and looked at her . `` Brigit , '' he asked , recognising her for the first time , `` are you in love with Joyselle ? '' For a full minute she could not answer , and then said very gently , `` Darling Tommy -- you know me ? ''
