about noon
`` Would you mind if I went back to bed ? I 'm so sleepy . '' `` Oh , no , '' returned Jane , and she put her gently back on the cot where she soon fell asleep . There was slight rise of fever and restlessness about noon . She talked in broken snatches imploring Jack not to do this or that and not to pinch the babies . Then she was so tired , so tired ! But about midafternoon , she seemed to rouse and come to herself and said she was hungry .
