Answers
The dusk hour belongs to those men and women who have been defeated in life because they are the kind of people who wish to hide in the half-light and shadows of this strange hour that is neither day nor night.
Men and women, who had fought and lost, who hid their fallen fortunes and dead hopes as far as possible from the scrutiny of the curious, came forth in this hour of gloaming,
The "defeated" emerge at this time when long sunset shadows cast their shabby clothes in a colored and dim light, and when others cannot read the defeat in their eyes, or notice their slumped shoulders and bent heads, or a dragging walk. And, yet, it is also the hour that Norman Grotsky, who counts himself among the "defeated,"--although his failure has not been with money--likes to watch the others who wander about in the dusk and imagine what has befallen them.
Answer :
Gortsby is in a gloomy mood. He is observing the passers-by who seem to have waited for this time of day to come outside. Dusk, to his mind, was the hour of the defeated.
Dusk is defined as the darkest period of twilight. According to the narrator of Saki's story "Dusk," the time was about six-thirty in early March. At that time of day and at that time of the year it would be getting quite dark in a northern place like London.
