nine o'clock
Angel announced : `` First watch for me ! You go right to sleep , John , and I 'll wake you when the clock strikes ten . Then you 'll feel nice and fresh for your watch . '' But I was n't at all sleepy and we lay in the dusk and talked till the familiar harsh voice of the hall clock rasped out nine o'clock . `` You go to sleep , please John , '' whispered Angel in a drowsy voice , `` and I 'll watch till ten . '' I felt drowsy too , so I put my arm about the slumbering Seraph and soon fell fast asleep . It seemed to me but a moment when Angel roused me .
