nearly ten o'clock
what a commentary upon the uses of an attractive tavern was here ! My heart ached , as I thought of all that unknown mother had suffered , and was doomed to suffer . I could not shut out the image of her drooping form as I lay upon my pillow that night ; she even haunted me in my dreams . The landlord did not make his appearance on the next morning until nearly ten o'clock ; and then he looked like a man who had been on a debauch . It was eleven before Harvey Green came down . Nothing about him indicated the smallest deviation from the most orderly habit . Clean shaved , with fresh linen , and a face , every line of which was smoothed into calmness , he looked as if he had slept soundly on a quiet conscience , and now hailed the new day with a tranquil spirit .
