one o'clock
We have not met since that night , Mr. Hayne and I , and may not ; but he is a man whose story excites my profound pity and sorrow , and he is one of the two or three I feel that I would like to see more of . Is this being false to you or to my promise ? If so , Steven , you can not say that I have not given you the whole truth . `` It is very late at night , -- one o'clock , -- and Kate is not yet asleep , and the captain is still down-stairs , reading . He is not looking well at all , and Kate is sorely anxious about him . It was his evidence that brought years of ostracism and misery upon Lieutenant Hayne , and there are vague indications that in his own regiment the officers are beginning to believe that possibly he was not the guilty man . The cavalry officers , of course , say nothing to us on the subject , and I have never heard the full story .
