about midnight
`` I was called away just then , to take some refreshment , and for this purpose I was taken to the room of Mistress Catherine . She was there , and had been crying bitterly ; she spoke kindly to me , and said she hoped that the sight of me would be a comfort to Miss Vaughan ; but she seemed to be unable to talk much . `` When I returned to Evelyn 's room , I found that she had fallen again into a doze , and it was thought best for me to go to bed . I slept , by my own desire , with Fanny ; but Fanny left me about midnight , to take her turn in attending the little lady . `` She died at last somewhat suddenly , and very peacefully , like one falling asleep . The last word which she was heard to utter distinctly was the name of her Saviour . `` I was present when she died , and went with her aunts to the funeral , where I cried till I was quite ill .
