I have not begun yet, as it is not worth while at the eleventh hour of this term; but when I return in January I will set to work in earnest. An Unsocial Socialist by Shaw, George Bernard View in context He supplicated strength for the weak- hearted; guidance for wanderers from the fold: a return, even at the eleventh hour, for those whom the temptations of the world and the flesh were luring from the narrow path. Jane Eyre by Bronte, Charlotte View in context Make her feel the presence of the living God, who beholds all the past, to whom the darkness is as noonday; who is waiting now, at the eleventh hour, for her to turn to him, and confess her sin, and cry for mercy--now, before the night of death comes, and the moment of pardon is for ever fled, like yesterday that returneth not.
