Great Regulars: It is in the third movement that Andy

mentions "old Doc Hill," whom the reader has previously encountered. Andy would hear the doctor's "weary steps," and Andy claims that those steps "sounded like on who walks in sleep."

Andy then mentions that he heard a far-off rooster crowing, which suggests that it is close to dawn. The implication supports Doc Hill's report about caring for the sick all through the night.
