two o'clock
At four o'clock on the morning of Ash Wednesday , London was awoke by drums beating all through the streets of the city . John and Robin rose hastily , and went out to ascertain the cause . They came in shortly , saying that the drums beat for all soldiers to arm and repair to Charing Cross , for that Wyatt was seeking to come in by Westminster , and had reached as far as Brentford . About one or two o'clock , Wyatt came , and marched past Charing Cross , without hindrance -LRB- except that as he passed Saint James 's the Earl of Pembroke fell upon his rear -RRB- , and so marched along the Strand , and up Fleet Street , until he came before Ludgate . There they knocked to come in , falsely saying that the Queen had granted their request and pardoned them ; but Lord William Howard was not to be thus deceived , as others had been on the way . His answer was a stern cry of `` Avaunt , traitor ! thou shalt not come in here . ''
