eleven o'clock
Here the good woman stopped a moment , indulged in a pinch of snuff , and tried to arrange her thoughts . I listened with eager attention for what was coming . `` About half-past ten , '' she went on , `` I was sitting near the bed , and from time to time drew the curtain to see what the count was doing ; he made no movement ; he was sleeping as quietly as a child . It was all right until eleven o'clock , then I began to feel tired . An old woman , sir , can not help herself -- she must drop off to sleep in spite of everything . I did not think anything was going to happen , and I said to myself , ` He is sure to sleep till daylight . ' About twelve the wind went down ; the big windows had been rattling , but now they were quiet .
