two o'clock
The Bishop spent rather a wakeful night , that is , until about two in the morning , at which hour he settled his problem and fell asleep . It finally resolved itself in his mind as a matter for him to let alone . He could not better it , and had not the smallest intention of making a martyr of himself , of resigning his office , or of incurring any of the other disagreeable experiences which beset the path of the moral crusader . No , he could do nothing , for at two o'clock , as we have said , he had arrived at the conclusion that the evil -- if such it could be called , since there was considerable doubt on the subject -- had reached a magnitude which no single individual could deal with . Whereupon he wisely dismissed the matter from his mind . Not having gone to sleep till late he was considerably annoyed when his China-boy arrived at six with his early tea . This sense of irritation still clung to him when an hour later he sat down on the verandah facing the harbour and began his breakfast .
