ten o’clock
A certain air of comparative comfort , on our arrival , in great measure dissipated the gloom that was stealing over me . Although it was by no means a cold night , I was very glad to see some wood blazing in the grate ; and a pair of candles aiding the light of the fire , made the room look cheerful . A small table , with a very white cloth , and preparations for supper , was also a very agreeable object . I should have liked very well , under these influences , to have listened to Tom Wyndsour 's story ; but after supper I grew too sleepy to attempt to lead him to the subject ; and after yawning for a time , I found there was no use in contending against my drowsiness , so I betook myself to my bedroom , and by ten o'clock was fast asleep . What interruption I experienced that night I shall tell you presently . It was not much , but it was very odd . By next night I had completed my work at Barwyke .
