about
three in the morning
Craig dined at the Secretary of State 's that night , and reveled in the marked consideration every one showed him . He knew it was not because of his political successes , present and impending ; in the esteem of that fashionable company his success with Margaret overtopped them . And while he was there , drinking more than was good for him and sharing in the general self-complacence , he thought so himself . But waking up about three in the morning , with an aching head and in the depths of the blues , the whole business took on again its grimmest complexion . `` I 'll talk it over again with Grant , '' he decided , and was at the Arkwright house a few minutes after eight . It so happened that Grant himself was wakeful that morning and had got up about half-past seven . When Craig came he was letting his valet dress him .
