four o’clock
Mr. Percy , leaning back in the carriage , said that he felt inclined to sleep . `` To sleep ! '' repeated Godfrey : `` is it possible that you can be sleepy , sir ? '' `` Very possible , my dear son -- it is past four o'clock , I believe . '' Godfrey was silent for some minutes , and he began to think over every word and look that had passed between him and Miss Hauton . He had been only amused with her conversation , and charmed by her grace and beauty in the beginning of the evening ; but the sensibility she had afterwards shown had touched him so much , that he was extremely anxious to interest his father in her favour . He explained the cause of her fainting , and asked whether she was not much to be pitied .
