seven o'clock
At about six o'clock , when dawn came , he begged that the curtains of his bed might be drawn back yet further , and the windows opened , that he might see daylight again and breathe the fresh air : and this was done . Then , at the chiming of the hour by the clocks in the room , he remembered that one of them , which was an eight-day one , should be wound up , for it was a Friday on which it was always wound . And this too was done . At seven o'clock breathlessness came on him again , and he was compelled to sit up in bed , with his brother 's arm about him on one side , and a physician 's upon the other . They blooded him again , to twelve ounces more , which I suppose took his last remnant of strength from him ; for in spite of their remedies , he sank very rapidly ; and about half-past eight lost all power of speech . He kept his consciousness , however , moving his eyes and shewing that he understood what was said to him till ten o'clock ; and then he became unconscious altogether . At a little before noon , without a struggle or agony of any kind , His Sacred Majesty ceased to breathe .
