two in the morning
Besides , in another year who knows but my troubles may all be at an end ? Next winter will bring me nigh to my next birthday , and my next birthday may be the day of my death . Yes ! it 's true I sat up all last night ; and I heard two in the morning strike : and nothing happened . Still , allowing for that , the time to come is a time I do n't trust . My wife has got the knife -- my wife is looking for me . I am above superstition , mind !
