nine
o'clock
After great discussion it was decided that Marcus would sleep upon the lounge in the front parlor . Trina would sleep with August , giving up her room to McTeague . Selina went to her home , a block or so above the Sieppes 's . At nine o'clock Mr. Sieppe showed McTeague to his room and left him to himself with a newly lighted candle . For a long time after Mr. Sieppe had gone McTeague stood motionless in the middle of the room , his elbows pressed close to his sides , looking obliquely from the corners of his eyes . He hardly dared to move . He was in Trina 's room .
