ten at night
There were two small rooms , one inside the other , with ordinary and cheap office furniture . It was quite plain that any man of ordinary activity and size could have got out of the inner room into the corridor by the means which Samuel suggested -- through the hinged wall-light , near the ceiling . Hewitt had meddled with nothing -- he would do no more till he was satisfied of the _ bonâ fides _ of his client ; certainly he would not commit himself to breaking open desks or cupboards . And so , the time for my attendance at the office approaching -- I was working on the _ Morning Ph -LSB- oe -RSB- nix _ then , and ten at night saw my work begin -- we shut Denson 's office , and went away . In the morning I was awakened by an impatient knocking at my bedroom door . Going to bed at two or three I was naturally a late riser , and this was about nine . I scrambled sleepily out of bed , and turned the key .
