ten o'clock
It must be somewhere below London Bridge , say Wapping Old Stairs . Here Katherine suggested that he had better go to bed . He went , and lay awake all night in a half-fever . When Katherine went into his room the next morning -LRB- ten o'clock had struck , and there was no appearance of Ted -RRB- , she found him lying in a deep sleep ; one arm was flung outside the counterpane , the hand had closed on a crumpled sheet of paper . It was Audrey 's last note of invitation -- the baby had taken it to bed with him . `` Poor boy -- poor , poor Ted ! '' But , for all her sympathy , love , the stupidity that comes on you like a madness , was a thing incomprehensible to Katherine .
