five in the morning
It was fearfully jolting , but they felt neither the cold nor the jolts . `` Get on , get on ! '' Nellie implored the driver . At five in the morning the exhausted horses drove into the yard . Nellie saw the familiar gates , the well with the crane , the long row of stables and barns . At last she was at home . `` Wait a moment , I will be back directly , '' she said to Stepan Lukitch , making him sit down on the sofa in the dining-room .
