the morning
`` I suppose I had better go back and stay all night with him . It is now too late to go to Brooklyn . '' `` I think you are right . I can call for you at , say , eight o'clock in the morning . '' This was agreed upon , and as it was then after nine o'clock , I hurried back to Duncan at once . I found him still sleeping , and I did not disturb him . There was a lounge in the room , and throwing off my coat , vest , and shoes , I made my bed upon this .
