about
six o'clock in the morning
The fever came again as the day wore on , and the pains in her head grew worse . Her mother came to bed , and quickly went off to sleep , leaving Liza to bear her agony alone . She began to have frightful pains all over her , and she held her breath to prevent herself from crying out and waking her mother . She clutched the sheets in her agony , and at last , about six o'clock in the morning , she could bear it no longer , and in the anguish of labour screamed out , and woke her mother . Mrs. Kemp was frightened out of her wits . Going upstairs she woke the woman who lived on the floor above her . Without hesitating , the good lady put on a skirt and came down .
