eleven o'clock
Diana 's maid unpacked , in the room communicating with Marsham 's ; and Diana , pale and composed , made a new arrangement with Oliver 's male nurse . She was to take the nursing of the first part of the night , and he was to relieve her at three in the morning . To her would fall the administration of the new medicine . * * * * * At eleven o'clock all was still in the house . Diana opened the door of Oliver 's room with a beating heart . She wore a dressing-gown of some white stuff ; her black hair , released from the combs of the day , was loosely rolled up , and curled round her neck and temples . She came in with a gentle deliberate step ; it was but a few hours since the ceremony of the morning , but the tranformation in her was instinctive and complete .
