About eight at night
Now I gave over all thoughts of redemption . Here are strange pains , thought I , taken to ruin a poor , innocent , helpless young female . This plot is laid too deep to be baffled , I fear . About eight at night we enter 'd the courtyard of this handsome , large , old , lonely mansion , that looked to me then as if built for solitude and mischief . And here , said I to myself , I fear , is to be the scene of my ruin , unless God protect me , Who is all-sufficient . I was very ill at entering it , partly from fatigue , and partly from dejection of spirits . Mrs. Jewkes seem 'd mighty officious to welcome me , and call 'd me _ madam _ at every word .
