midnight
For the present , it still poured heavily , and the ground was in a perfect sop . Samuel and I went all over the house , and shut up as usual . I examined everything myself , and trusted nothing to my deputy on this occasion . All was safe and fast when I rested my old bones in bed , between midnight and one in the morning . The worries of the day had been a little too much for me , I suppose . At any rate , I had a touch of Mr. Franklin 's malady that night . It was sunrise before I fell off at last into a sleep .
