about one o'clock in the morning
Alban closed his windows at last for very shame and anger . He tried to shut the city 's terrible voice from his ears . He wished to believe that his eyes had deceived him . This would have been about one o'clock in the morning . When he awoke from a heavy sleep -LRB- and youth will sleep whatever the circumstance -RRB- the sun was shining into his rooms and the church-bells called the people to early Mass. . An early riser , long accustomed to be up and out when the clock struck six , he dressed himself at once and determined to see something of Warsaw before the Count was about . This good resolution led him first to the splendid avenue upon which the great hotel was built , and here he walked awhile , rejoicing in his freedom and wondering why he had ever parted with it .
