two o'clock
I went to bed saying nothing of this , but held sleepless by it all the night . With the idea which had come to me that afternoon of the possibility of Hinge being set upon me to act as a spy and to discover my intent so strong upon me that I could not shake it off , I tossed and tumbled in a very sea of doubt and trouble . I was more than half persuaded all along that this fancy was a mere chimera , and yet it took such force in my mind . It was past two o'clock when the moon rose . I got up noiselessly , filled and lit my pipe , and sat staring at the great solemn bulk of the fortress , as it stood for the time being almost white in the moonlight against the monstrous shadow of the bills . My mind was in a miserable whirl , and I knew not what to make of anything . This wretched state lasted until broad dawn , and I was still troubled by it when I walked into the keen morning air , towel in hand , for my customary swim .
