nearly ten o'clock
When she went to bed that night she was very unhappy . Her conscience troubled her very much . She wished she had never found the composition , and almost made up her mind to confess , but , alas , only almost . She turned and tossed till nearly ten o'clock , and then fell asleep , and dreamed that , just as she was reading the composition before the school , her Aunt Amy appeared , and claimed it as her own , thus showing her niece 's wickedness . She awoke with a scream that brought her mother to her bedside . Dell 's first thought was to tell her mother all , and , without waiting a moment , she confessed her sin . After that , Dell 's compositions were her own .
