midnight
After writing this letter she went up to her bedroom and busied herself about for an hour , making up parcels of her clothing and jewellery , and labelling them with envelopes bearing names . The plainer costumes she addressed to Aunt Anna , a fur-lined coat to Aunt Rachel , an opera cloak to Rosa , and a quantity of underclothing to Liza . All her jewels , and nearly all the silver trinkets from the dressing-table , were made up in a parcel by themselves and addressed back to the giver -- Sir Francis Drake . The clock of St. Clement 's Danes was chiming midnight when this was done , and she stood a moment and asked herself , `` Is there anything else ? '' Then there was a slippered foot on the stair , and somebody knocked . `` It 's only me , miss , and can I do anythink for ye ? '' Glory opened the door and found Liza there , half dressed and looking as if she had been crying .
