ten o'clock
Silence fell . From far below were heard the active waves , moaning themselves to rest . And a featureless evening moved on slowly .

It was cramped and narrow , with low ceiling and one small window . It gave on a short side-porch which was almost too narrow to sit on and which was apropos of no special prospect .
