midnight
Then I begged of one or two people -- I forgot everything but my hunger -- and they gave me a few coppers . I bought some bread , and still wandered about . There are some streets into which I can never bear to go now ; the thought of walking about them eight years ago is too terrible to me . Well , I walked till midnight , and then could stand up no longer . I found myself in a dirty little street where the house doors stood open all night ; I went into one , and walked up as far as the first landing , and there fell down in a corner and slept all night .
