ten o'clock
Dory left the room . He kept one hand in his pocket on the wallet which contained the treasure that was to open up the brilliant scheme by which he hoped to support his mother and sister . He went out of the hotel without any definite idea of where he intended to go . It was ten o'clock by this time . He was not penniless now , as he had been before . He was rich enough to spend the night , or even a week or a month , at the Witherill House ; but the idea of going there , or to any other public house , did not occur to him . Though he had five dollars for `` expenses , '' he could not think of paying out a dollar , or even half a dollar , for a night 's lodging .
