about six o'clock
There was no answer except for the bed , and Sam did n't know whether Bill was dying or whether ' e ` ad got delirium trimmings . All ' e did know was that ' e was n't going to sleep in that room . He shut the door gently and went downstairs agin , feeling in ` is pocket for a match , and , not finding one , ' e picked out the softest stair ' e could find and , leaning his ` ead agin the banisters , went to sleep . It was about six o'clock when ' e woke up , and broad daylight . He was stiff and sore all over , and feeling braver in the light ' e stepped softly upstairs and opened the door . Peter and Ginger was waiting for ` im , and as he peeped in ' e saw two things sitting up in bed with their ` air standing up all over like mops and their faces tied up with bandages . He was that startled ' e nearly screamed , and then ' e stepped into the room and stared at 'em as if he could n't believe ` is eyes .
