eight o'clock
The party visited the Hôtel de Ville , on the spot where stood the palace of the Frankish kings , in which Charlemagne was born . This was the last sight to be seen in regular course , and the last city in Germany which the tourists were to visit that season . It had been put to vote whether the company would remain in Aix over Sunday , or make a night trip to Paris , and the latter had been almost unanimously adopted . Captain Shuffles voted against it , because the earl 's party were to remain till Monday ; but he gracefully yielded , and the tourists left at eight o'clock . Lady Feodora was very sad , and so was Shuffles -- Sir William was very glad . His lordship was kind enough to hope that the acquaintance thus begun would be continued by letter , if not possible in any other way . The excursionists were in Paris at eight o'clock the next morning , and most of them had slept very well in the cars .
