about half past twelve
On passing downstairs I was told that the third and top floor of the house was occupied by the proprietor . When we passed through the bar , I treated everybody in the room -- and that was no small number , for eight or ten had followed us down . Then our party went out . It was now about half past twelve , but my nerves were at such a tension that I could not endure the mere thought of going to bed . I asked if there was no other place to which we could go ; our guides said yes , and suggested that we go to the `` Club . '' We went to Sixth Avenue , walked two blocks , and turned to the west into another street . We stopped in front of a house with three stories and a basement .
