eleven o'clock
The old dark eyes gleamed . In a more innocent state of society such as that which exists in the north , such a thing as a nightwatch is undreamed of . Insomnia is likewise unknown there . At eleven o'clock every soul in Fort Enterprise was drowned deep in slumber . There was no light in any window ; the very buildings seemed to crouch on the earth as if they slept , too . At sundown a film of cloud had crept across the sky , and the moon was dark . It was the very night for deeds of adventure .
