three in the
afternoon
` It is pure sleepiness , Mr. Stockdale . ' ` Never ! ' ` It is , I tell you . When I stay in my room till half-past three in the afternoon , you may always be sure that I slept soundly till three , or I should n't have stayed there . ' ` It is dreadful , ' said Stockdale , thinking of the disastrous effects of such indulgence upon the household of a minister , should it become a habit of everyday occurrence . ` But then , ' she said , divining his good and prescient thoughts , ` it only happens when I stay awake all night . I do n't go to sleep till five or six in the morning sometimes . '
