one in the morning
If you did n't see me for a week , it might fade away . Sometimes men get married and then there 's day after day , stretching out into an entire lifetime , and they get pretty well bored by it all . Sit down there ; I 'm willing to talk it over at once . '' Then until one in the morning , in the dark room and by the faint light of a smoky tallow candle which they forgot to snuff , they talked of their marriage , lowering their voices so as not to wake the two children , Claude and Etienne , who were sleeping , both heads on the same pillow . Gervaise kept pointing out the children to Coupeau , what a funny kind of dowry they were . She really should n't burden him with them . Besides , what would the neighbors say ?
