half past five
She had made up her mind -- decidedly made up her mind -- not to go to sleep that night . The unhappy girls in the novels always sit up , you know . Besides , she was too wretched to sleep . Then the morning train went early , at half past five , and she should stay here till it came . This was very good reasoning , and Sharley certainly was very unhappy , -- as unhappy as a little girl of eighteen can well be ; and I suppose it would sound a great deal better to say that the cold morning looked in upon her sleepless pain , or that Aurora smiled upon her unrested eyes , or that she kept her bitter watch until the stars grew pale -LRB- and a fine chance that would be to describe a sunrise too -RRB- ; but truth compels me to state that she did what some very unhappy people have done before her , -- found the window-sill uncomfortable , cramped , neuralgic , and cold , -- so undressed and went to bed and to sleep , very much as she would have done if there had been no Halcombe Dike in the world . Sharley was not used to lying awake , and Nature would not be cheated out of her rights in such a round , young , healthful little body . But that did not make her much the happier when she woke in the cold gray of the dawn to listen for the early train .
