ten o'clock
Gertrude suggested Jane Miller as a girl well suited to their wants , and it was agreed that she should be applied for on the next morning . One more glance at Gertrude , and we shall have followed her to the conclusion of the day . She is alone . It is ten o'clock , and the house is still . Mr. Cooper is sound asleep . Gertrude has just listened at his door , and heard his loud breathing . Mrs. Sullivan , under the influence of a soothing draught recommended by Dr. Jeremy , has fallen into an unusually quiet slumber .
