ten minutes past
eleven
We dined together at seven . After dinner I had a cigar , and then joined Aunt Janet for an hour in her drawing-room . I left her at half-past ten , when I went to my own room and wrote some letters . At ten minutes past eleven I wound my watch , so I know the time accurately . Having prepared for bed , I drew back the heavy curtain in front of my window , which opens on the marble steps into the Italian garden . I had put out my light before drawing back the curtain , for I wanted to have a look at the scene before turning in . Aunt Janet has always had an old-fashioned idea of the need -LRB- or propriety , I hardly know which -RRB- of keeping windows closed and curtains drawn .
