twelve o'clock
`` Yes . It 's time to go home . '' They went back to the town . Then they met every day at twelve o'clock on the sea-front , lunched and dined together , went for walks , admired the sea . She complained that she slept badly , that her heart throbbed violently ; asked the same questions , troubled now by jealousy and now by the fear that he did not respect her sufficiently . And often in the square or gardens , when there was no one near them , he suddenly drew her to him and kissed her passionately . Complete idleness , these kisses in broad daylight while he looked round in dread of some one 's seeing them , the heat , the smell of the sea , and the continual passing to and fro before him of idle , well-dressed , well-fed people , made a new man of him ; he told Anna Sergeyevna how beautiful she was , how fascinating .
