five in the morning
Arthur lived at the top of Compeyson 's house -LRB- over nigh Brentford it was -RRB- , and Compeyson kept a careful account agen him for board and lodging , in case he should ever get better to work it out . But Arthur soon settled the account . The second or third time as ever I see him , he come a tearing down into Compeyson 's parlor late at night , in only a flannel gown , with his hair all in a sweat , and he says to Compeyson 's wife , ` Sally , she really is upstairs alonger me , now , and I ca n't get rid of her . She 's all in white , ' he says , ` wi ' white flowers in her hair , and she 's awful mad , and she 's got a shroud hanging over her arm , and she says she 'll put it on me at five in the morning . ' `` Says Compeyson : ` Why , you fool , do n't you know she 's got a living body ? And how should she be up there , without coming through the door , or in at the window , and up the stairs ? ' `` ` I do n't know how she 's there , ' says Arthur , shivering dreadful with the horrors , ` but she 's standing in the corner at the foot of the bed , awful mad .
