twenty past eleven
_ Two _ must refer to the number of the house : _ third _ to the number of the floor , since practically all dwelling-houses in Berlin are divided off into flats . As for the `` Achiles , '' I gave it up . I looked at my watch . It was twenty past eleven : too late to begin my search that night . Then I suddenly realized how utterly exhausted I was . I had been two nights out of bed without sleep , for I had sat up on deck crossing over to Holland , and the succession of adventures that had befallen me since I left London had driven all thought of weariness from my mind . But now came the reaction and I felt myself yearning for a hot bath and for a nice comfortable bed .
