eight o'clock
Waking , she was astonished to find herself on the floor , and for an instant could not remember what had happened . But in a flash it all came back . Quickly she got up and quietly undressed , putting on Mrs. MacMahon 's immense nightgown before she dropped thankfully upon the cot bed . Clo did not sleep again , but lay until eight o'clock , when her neighbours began to stir . Then she listened once more at the hole in the wall until she feared that Violet might come with breakfast . The woman had suggested bringing it at nine , and lest she should wonder why the hungry girl had n't supped , the milk had to be hastily poured away and the bread and ham hidden . The bed had also to be lifted into place covering the hole in the wall .
