half past two
What time was it , anyway , eleven ? Twelve ? Sahwah switched on the light and looked at her watch . It was half past two . She shivered as the freshening breeze came in through the window and became conscious that her bare feet were cold on the polished floor . She jumped into bed to get warm , intending to get up again and watch until Veronica returned , but the warmth of the bed sent a delicious languor through her limbs ; she yawned once , twice ; her eyes began to ache in the moonlight and she closed them to shut it out . Presently she opened them again and there was the sun shining in on the bed .
