twelve o'clock
The Court sat late that day as an important case was ending ; it was striking six as I drove in at the gate of the Kensington Palace Road . I found myself installed in a large room close to the sick chamber . That night we were not yet regularly organised for watching , so that the early part of the evening showed an unevenly balanced guard . Nurse Kennedy , who had been on duty all day , was lying down , as she had arranged to come on again by twelve o'clock . Doctor Winchester , who was dining in the house , remained in the room until dinner was announced ; and went back at once when it was over . During dinner Mrs. Grant remained in the room , and with her Sergeant Daw , who wished to complete a minute examination which he had undertaken of everything in the room and near it . At nine o'clock Miss Trelawny and I went in to relieve the Doctor .
