eleven o'clock
That day , and the night which followed it , was a long period with me . I had to see many acquaintances , and attend to a thousand small matters . I was on my feet the whole day , and even when the night came I had no rest . I was in the city till near eleven o'clock . When I got home I found that my wife had done her share of the tasks . She had completed her preparations . Our luggage was all ready for removal .
