eleven o'clock
Take , then , the dreadful story , as well as I can relate it . The maid Nan is a little apt to drink , if she can get at liquor ; and Mrs. Jewkes happened , or designed , as is too probable , to leave a bottle of cherry-brandy in her way , and the wench drank some of it more than she should ; and when she came in to lay the cloth , Mrs. Jewkes perceived it , and fell a rating at her most sadly ; for she has too many faults of her own , to suffer any of the like sort in any body else , if she can help it ; and she bid her get out of her sight , when we had supped , and go to bed , to sleep off her liquor , before we came to bed . And so the poor maid went muttering up stairs . About two hours after , which was near eleven o'clock , Mrs. Jewkes and I went up to go to bed ; I pleasing myself with what a charming night I should have . We locked both doors , and saw poor Nan , as I thought , -LRB- but , oh ! 't was my abominable master , as you shall hear by and by , -RRB- sitting fast asleep , in an elbow-chair , in a dark corner of the room , with her apron thrown over her head and neck . And Mrs. Jewkes said , There is that beast of a wench fast asleep , instead of being a-bed !
