midnight
Thus a fortnight passed away . At length the lowest stage of the disease was reached . It was the turning-point , and beyond that lay either death or recovery . All night long the landlady watched beside the bed of the poor sufferer , who now lay in a deep sleep , scarce breathing , while the doctor , who came in at midnight , remained till morning . Morning came at length , and Edith awaked . The delirium had passed . She looked around inquiringly , but could recall nothing .
