two o'clock
With a slightly sardonic grin on his face the Senior Surgeon resumed his pacing . Up and down , -- round and round , -- on and on and on ! At one o'clock in the dull , clammy chill of earliest morning he stopped long enough to light his hearthfire . At two o'clock he stopped again to pile on a trifle more wood . At three o'clock he dallied for an instant to close a window . The new day seemed strangely cold . At four o'clock , dawn the wonder , -- the miracle , -- the long despaired of , -- quickened wanly across the East .
