ten o'clock
It was pitch dark ; and on the ledge Scarfe stood to drive him back . Then suddenly a new bright path seemed to open at his side , into which he stepped with his precious burden . And as he did so he saw , far off , Raby standing at the end of the way . It was ten o'clock when he awoke ; but the house was still asleep . Only a few servants were stirring ; and even Walker had taken advantage of the occasion to `` sleep in . '' Jeffreys was tough and hardy ; and the night 's rest had done more for him than twenty doctors . He got up , shook himself , and behold his limbs were strong under him , and his head was clear and cool .
