eleven o'clock at night
In order to put Paris off its guard , the king and queen promised to be present at a great Catholic festival , in the church of the Assumption in Paris , on the 21st of June ; meaning , however , to be off on the 20th . Little Louis knew nothing of all that was going on , nor guessed , when he went to bed on the 20th of June , that he should have to get up again presently . As soon as it was dark , his governess took him up , and dressed him , and put a sort of hood over his head , which prevented his face being seen . He was probably as sleepy as a little boy of six , just waked up before eleven o'clock at night , was likely to be ; and knew and cared little about what Madame de Tourzel was doing with him . His sister was dressed , and had a hood over her head too ; and so had Madame de Tourzel . They were very quiet ; for everybody in the palace but those who were in the secret believed that the king was now gone to bed . Somebody opened the doors for them , and showed them the way .
