eleven in the morning
Meanwhile the bell rings at last -- rings violently . The nurse goes back to the sick-room at five minutes to eleven , or thereabouts , and finds that the bad symptoms of the morning have returned in a gravely aggravated form . A second dose of poison -- larger than the dose administered in the early morning -- has been given during the absence of the nurse , and -LRB- observe -RRB- during the disappearance also of Mrs. Beauly . The nurse looking out into the corridor for help , encounters Mrs. Beauly herself , innocently on her way from her own room -- just up , we are to suppose , at eleven in the morning ! -- to inquire after the sick woman . A little later Mrs. Beauly accompanies Mr. Macallan to visit the invalid . The dying woman casts a strange look at both of them , and tells them to leave her .
