two o'clock
It was the first time I had ever lain down to rest in Satis House , and sleep refused to come near me . A thousand Miss Havishams haunted me . She was on this side of my pillow , on that , at the head of the bed , at the foot , behind the half-opened door of the dressing-room , in the dressing-room , in the room overhead , in the room beneath , -- everywhere . At last , when the night was slow to creep on towards two o'clock , I felt that I absolutely could no longer bear the place as a place to lie down in , and that I must get up . I therefore got up and put on my clothes , and went out across the yard into the long stone passage , designing to gain the outer courtyard and walk there for the relief of my mind . But I was no sooner in the passage than I extinguished my candle ; for I saw Miss Havisham going along it in a ghostly manner , making a low cry . I followed her at a distance , and saw her go up the staircase .
