eight o'clock
Each one has his own little tune , or tunes , which I have heard for fifteen years , and they play them all together every evening in that club , which is apparently a place where one goes to be entertained . Someone should change my own generation for my benefit , for my eyes , my ears , and my mind have had enough of it . They still make conquests , however , they boast of them and congratulate one another on them ! `` After yawning as many times as there are minutes between eight o'clock and midnight , I go home and go to bed , and while I undress I think that the same thing will begin over again the next day . `` Yes , my dear friend , I am at the age when a bachelor 's life becomes intolerable , because there is nothing new for me under the sun . An unmarried man should be young , curious , eager . When one is no longer all that , it becomes dangerous to remain free .
