about midnight
Paul soon afterward went to his room . A chamber on the ground floor , with a window opening into the garden had been fitted up for him , to save him the necessity of climbing up and down stairs . It was in this little chamber that , soon afterward , he went to bed , hoping against hope that he might awaken on the morrow with his memory restored . It was about midnight when Frank , who was a light sleeper , was awakened suddenly by hearing a noise under his window . He occupied the room over Paul . `` I wonder if he 's sick ? '' he thought , as he arose softly .
