nearly eleven
o'clock at night
I went for the doctor at the lady 's request ; but before my return Mr. Parasyte had come to his senses , and complained of a severe sickness at his stomach . The physician carefully examined him , and declared that his patient was not seriously injured . I need not say that I was greatly relieved by this opinion . I left the room , intending to depart from the house , though it was now nearly eleven o'clock at night . Mr. Hardy followed me out into the hall , and wished to know where I was going . `` Home , '' I replied . `` I 'm afraid you have got into difficulty , Thornton , '' added he .
