ten to two o’clock
Had n't you better give it to Monsieur Godeschal for safe keeping ? '' `` Godeschal ! '' cried Oscar , who thought his mother 's suggestion excellent . But Godeschal , who , like all clerks , has his time to himself on Sundays , from ten to two o'clock , had already departed . When his mother left him , Oscar went to lounge upon the boulevards until it was time to go to Georges Marest 's breakfast . Why not display those beautiful clothes which he wore with a pride and joy which all young fellows who have been pinched for means in their youth will remember . A pretty waistcoat with a blue ground and a palm-leaf pattern , a pair of black cashmere trousers pleated , a black coat very well fitting , and a cane with a gilt top , the cost of which he had saved himself , caused a natural joy to the poor lad , who thought of his manner of dress on the day of that journey to Presles , as the effect that Georges had then produced upon him came back to his mind .
