nearly eleven o'clock
My own impression was that I had been awakened by the touch of a person 's hand . But that impression must have been a mistaken one , because , as I could easily see by looking round the room , there was no one in the room to touch me . It was broad daylight . I looked at my watch ; it was nearly eleven o'clock . I am a pretty late sleeper as a rule , but I do not usually sleep as late as that . That scoundrel Bob would let me sleep all day without thinking it necessary to call me . I was just about to spring out of bed with the intention of ringing the bell so that I might give Bob a piece of my mind for allowing me to sleep so late , when my glance fell on the dressing-table on which , the night before , I had placed Pugh 's puzzle .
