two o'clock
Sarrasin kept his watch under his pillow , safe within reach . He wanted to be sure of the exact minute when everything was to occur . He fancied he heard some faint moving in the corridor , and he turned on the electric light and gave one glance at his watch , and then summoned darkness again . He found that it was exactly two o'clock . Now , he thought , if anything is going to be done , it must be done very soon ; we ca n't have long to wait . He was glad . The most practised and case-hardened soldier is not fond of having to wait for his enemy .
