about one o'clock
Meg was adorable with her children and surpassed herself in the telling of stories . The First Army left England for Flanders with the silence of a shadow . But Meg knew when it left . That night , Jan woke about one o'clock , conscious of a queer sound that she could neither define nor locate . She sat up in bed to listen , and arrived at the conclusion that it came from the day-nursery , which was below her room . Tony was sleeping peacefully . Jan put on her dressing-gown and went downstairs .
