six o’clock
By this time night had closed in ; it was 10 P. M. and time to think of rest , if they were to start betimes next day . Robert offered his friend Toline half his bed , and the little fellow accepted it . Lady Helena and Mary Grant withdrew to the wagon , and the others lay down in the tent , Paganel 's merry peals still mingling with the low , sweet song of the wild magpie . But in the morning at six o'clock , when the sunshine wakened the sleepers , they looked in vain for the little Australian . Toline had disappeared . Was he in haste to get to the Lachlan district ? or was he hurt by Paganel 's laughter ?
