two in the morning
That night , when I got your note telling me what you had done , I did a damnably foolish thing . I went to the club-bar and drank heavily . I was wild to help you , but I could n't see how . At two in the morning I thought I saw the way . Drunken men get strange ideas into their heads . You were the apple of the mother 's eyes ; I was only her son . No use denying it .
