one o’clock
It seemed to Levin that they knew all about it already and sympathized with him , saying nothing merely from delicacy . He stayed with them one hour , two , three , talking of all sorts of subjects but the one thing that filled his heart , and did not observe that he was boring them dreadfully , and that it was long past their bedtime . Sviazhsky went with him into the hall , yawning and wondering at the strange humor his friend was in . It was past one o'clock . Levin went back to his hotel , and was dismayed at the thought that all alone now with his impatience he had ten hours still left to get through . The servant , whose turn it was to be up all night , lighted his candles , and would have gone away , but Levin stopped him . This servant , Yegor , whom Levin had noticed before , struck him as a very intelligent , excellent , and , above all , good-hearted man .
