About nine o'clock
So saying , with a discordant chuckle he left the window , and the poor prisoner had to make the best of the situation for the night . Adding another log to the fire , and wrapping his great-coat together for a couch , with the upper part raised over two or three logs for a pillow , he resigned himself to rest , and , much to his surprise , slept pretty soundly till daybreak . His morning devotions over , and his scanty breakfast eaten , he waited for the return of his brother-in-law with very mingled feelings . About nine o'clock he appeared , and greeted Amos with the hope that he had passed a good night and felt quite himself this morning . Amos replied that he was thankful to say that he had slept as well or better than he expected , and that he only wished that his brother-in-law had had as soft a pillow to lie on as himself had enjoyed . `` Dear me , '' said the other sneeringly , `` I was not aware that the establishment was provided with such luxuries . Pray , of what materials may this pillow of yours have been made ? ''
