eight o'clock
This man was Mr. Sidorenko . With great difficulty he got him home , handed him over to the care of his frightened sister and his daughter , and ran for the doctor ... . Meantime it was nearly morning ; Kolosov was almost dropping with fatigue . With the permission of Matrona Semyonovna , he lay down on the sofa in the parlour , and slept till eight o'clock . On waking up he would at once have gone home ; but they kept him and gave him some tea . In the night he had twice succeeded in catching a glimpse of the pale face of Varvara Ivanovna ; he had not particularly noticed her , but in the morning she made a decidedly agreeable impression on him . Matrona Semyonovna garrulously praised and thanked Kolosov ; Varvara sat silent , pouring out the tea , glanced at him now and then , and with timid shame-faced attentiveness handed him first a cup of tea , then the cream , then the sugar-basin .
