eight o’clock
The invitation was for eight o'clock . It was then half-past seven , and it would take at least twenty minutes to drive from the Luxembourg to the Rue de la Victoire . `` Here it is , my dear , '' said Madame Gohier , handing the letter to her husband . `` It says eight o'clock . '' `` Yes , '' replied Gohier , `` I was not in doubt about the hour , but about the day . '' Taking the note from his wife 's hand , he read it over : Come , my dear Gohier , with your wife , and breakfast with me to-morrow at eight o'clock . Do n't fail , for I have some very interesting things to tell you .
