About nine o’clock
So far as I could tell , the night passed quietly . The next morning I heard that my mistress was suffering so severely from a nervous attack that she was unable to rise from her bed . It was no surprise to me to be told that , knowing as I did what she had gone through the night before . About nine o'clock I went with the hot water to the Red Room . After knocking twice I tried the door , and , finding it not locked , went in with the jug in my hand . I looked at the bed -- I looked all round the room . Not a sign of Mr. James Smith was to be seen anywhere .
