three o'clock before
O what reason had we for thankfulness and gratitude ! About seven o'clock my good master joined us , in his morning gown and slippers ; and looking a little heavy , I said , Sir , I fear you had not good rest last night . That is your fault , Pamela , said he . After I went from you , I must needs look into your papers , and could not leave them till I had read them through ; and so 't was three o'clock before I went to sleep . I wish , sir , said I , you had had better entertainment . The worst part of it , said he , was what I had brought upon myself ; and you have not spared me . Sir , said I -- He interrupting me , said , Well , I forgive you .
