six o'clock
An interval , which I estimate at about four hours , must have passed since my incarceration . It must therefore be near midnight . Shall I be left here in this way till morning ? Luckily , I dined at six o'clock , which is the regular dinner-hour at Healthful House . I am not suffering from hunger . In fact I feel more inclined to sleep than to eat . Still , I hope I shall have energy enough to resist the inclination .
