six o'clock
The night was past with all its fears ; the light had come with all its joys . From that moment I was certain that we should triumph over these difficulties and that the end of them would be peace . So sure was I that I ventured to take a nap , knowing that the slightest movement or sound would wake me . I suppose I slept until six o'clock , when I was aroused by a footfall . I sprang up , and saw before me one of our native servants . He was trembling and his face was ashen beneath the black . Moreover he could not speak .
