two o'clock
`` I was at the cemetery yesterday , '' Startsev began . `` How ungenerous and merciless it was on your part ! ... '' `` You went to the cemetery ? '' `` Yes , I went there and waited almost till two o'clock . I suffered ... '' `` Well , suffer , if you can not understand a joke . '' Ekaterina Ivanovna , pleased at having so cleverly taken in a man who was in love with her , and at being the object of such intense love , burst out laughing and suddenly uttered a shriek of terror , for , at that very minute , the horses turned sharply in at the gate of the club , and the carriage almost tilted over . Startsev put his arm round Ekaterina Ivanovna 's waist ; in her fright she nestled up to him , and he could not restrain himself , and passionately kissed her on the lips and on the chin , and hugged her more tightly .
