two in the morning
Toro was rather annoyed at this ; not that he had any great objection to her slaughtering the whole of the Harkaway family , although he certainly would prefer to perform that task himself . But he could not help thinking that a secret path might admit foes , as well as permit the exit of friends . However , we must leave Toro to his reflections , and follow the brigand 's widow . It was between one and two in the morning when she quitted the bivouac without being observed , and walked slowly towards the town where the Harkaways were located . There was no occasion for hurry . At that hour of the morning she could not hope to gain admittance to the house where her foes were located . A day must pass , and evening come again , before any thing could be done .
