eleven o’clock
I must shut up these leaves once more . Two o'clock A.M. -- The experiment has been tried . With what result , I am now to describe . At eleven o'clock , I rang the bell for Betteredge , and told Mr. Blake that he might at last prepare himself for bed . I looked out of the window at the night . It was mild and rainy , resembling , in this respect , the night of the birthday -- the twenty-first of June , last year . Without professing to believe in omens , it was at least encouraging to find no direct nervous influences -- no stormy or electric perturbations -- in the atmosphere .
