twelve o'clock
I knew and understood a great deal in my dream that I can not remember now , '' she answered . `` I only know that he will be here to-morrow , and , papa , and you , Neelie , whether you believe as I do or not , I want you to get ready to receive him . Let it be in this dear old room -- I lying here as I am now , and you sitting so beside me . We 'll wait for him to-morrow morning until twelve o'clock . If I should die before then , let my body stay here until noon , for I want him to see my face when he comes , so that he 'll always remember how happy I looked . But if , after that little clock on the mantel-piece strikes twelve , still he is n't here , then you may do with me as you will . I shall not know nor mind . ''
