five o'clock in the afternoon
As to the ramparts , they exist no longer . Instead of old walls and muddy ditches , Frankfort has seen the gradual formation of a charming English garden , a gracious and perfumed enclosure , which enables one to make the circuit of the town , while walking on the smoothest of paths and under magnificent trees . So that , with its houses painted white , green , and pink , Frankfort looks like a bouquet of camellias set in a border of heather . The tomb of the mayor to whom this improvement is due stands in the midst of a delightful labyrinth of walks , much frequented by the burghers and their families about four or five o'clock in the afternoon . The Teuton name Frankfort means a _ free ford _ , and the town owes its origin to an imperial castle built by Charlemagne at a point where the Namur is fordable . The first historical notice of it is the date of the Council held there in 794 , in which was discussed the question of image worship . As to Charlemagne 's palace , no trace of it can be found , but antiquaries say that it stood where now is the Church of St. Leonard .
