four o'clock
I think others felt so too . Slowly the hours went round . Even into the darkened room the spring sunshine would peep , and the twittering of the birds in the orchard broke the oppressive stillness . At four o'clock the doctor came again . Save for the almost imperceptible breathing , Lucy lay so pale and still that they almost thought her dead . At sunset she moved uneasily , and with a great sigh lifted her heavy lids and looked round the room . A sob burst from Aunt Hepsy 's lips , and Carrie Goldthwaite 's tears fell fast , for Dr. Gair 's face said she was saved .
