eight o'clock
He had told his uncle that he would not go out , and the next thing , he is found stumbling in a back window at three o'clock in the morning . As Guy reviewed the situation over and over in his perplexed thought , he found how mistaken he had been indeed , thus to fool with the man on whom he depended for his future welfare . A hearty , though half selfish regret , seized him , and the broad day broke into the room before he closed his eyes in sleep . At eight o'clock he woke with a start from very unpleasant dreams , just to face more terrible and more unpleasant things in reality . Guy showed more moral courage on this occasion than he had ever before shown in his life . He rose with a fixed determination as to his plan of action . He dressed with his usual care , and was downstairs before his uncle .
