ten o’clock in the morning
There was no answer . I stood near the door , sighed , and went into the drawing-room . There I sat down on the sofa , put out the candle , and remained sitting in the dark till the dawn . I went to the station at ten o'clock in the morning . There was no frost , but snow was falling in big wet flakes and an unpleasant damp wind was blowing . We passed a pond and then a birch copse , and then began going uphill along the road which I could see from my window . I turned round to take a last look at my house , but I could see nothing for the snow .
