two o'clock
Moore , feeling sure of the men he had already lined up , consented to be the one to bring the sick senator from the hotel , only five minutes away . In the meantime Senator Danvers was vainly trying to stem the tide . The doctor reported that Senator Blair was in bed and apparently sleeping , so Philip was comparatively easy . All that remained for him to do was to see that no other man went over to the enemy ; and it had been agreed that the Legislature should adjourn at two o'clock that night . Senator Blair , meanwhile , had made up his mind to get away that very hour . No matter if he were too sick to stand , he would get up and dress , get a carriage and go ... . It was better than staying and going mad .
