midnight
The squire in a few words informed Doctor Longstreet of the attack made upon him in the park . The doctor looked at his watch . `` Only two hours and a half since , '' he remarked . `` It is just midnight now , very good -- the man must have been in a fever all day -- yesterday , too , perhaps . He is not badly hurt by the dog -- like to see that dog , if you do n't mind -- the fright most likely sent him into delirium . You have nothing to accuse yourself of , Mr. Juxon : it was certainly not your fault . Even if the dog had not bitten him , he would most likely have been in his present state by this time .
