help translating a sentence

[TheOneTrueKokujin]

Hi, I desperately need some help translating the bolded, the rest of the sentence is there for context. I know what all the words mean but don't know how to translate it. Can anyone help?

すでに午後一時からの昼休みの時間に入ろうとしていた けれど、折良く、K氏が別の用事で閲覧室に入ってきたので、� �速つかまえて尋ねようとした。

"I previously tried to go on my lunch break that starts at 1 p.m., but"

Breakdown:
すでに previously
午後 p.m.
一時からの [the one] starting at 1 p.m.
昼休みの時間に at the time of lunch break
入ろうとしていた // V-plain-volitionalとする = to try and do V
けれど but

I have a totally different opinion.

すでに here means "already".

There is no subject "I" hidden in that part in bold. We don't say 「someone は（が）～～の時間に入ろうとする」.

There is no "trying to do" in it, either, as there is no presence of a person in that part. 「～～の時間に入ろうとしていた」means that the particular time period had just begun or was beginning to start.　

My translation, therfore, would be:

"My one-o'clock lunch break had just begun already, but"

I can't believe I was so far off. This makes me a sad panda.

Ahh thank you very much for your help, both of you.

I hope I can be of assistance to someone else, to the same extent that you have been of assistance to me.

Thanks again,
