two o'clock
A little later Thoreau led the way into the room which David was to occupy for the night . It was a small room , with a sapling partition between it and the one in which the Missioner was to sleep . The fox breeder placed a lamp on the table near the bed , and bade David good-night . It was past two o'clock , and yet David felt at the present moment no desire for sleep . After he had taken off his shoes and partially undressed , he sat on the edge of his bed and allowed his mind to sweep back over the events of the last few hours . Again he thought of the woman in the coach -- the woman with those wonderful , dark eyes and haunting face -- and he drew forth from his coat pocket the package which she had forgotten . He handled it curiously .
