ten o'clock
I hear the curfew ringing . ' Some one whistled softly . They ought to have been in bed an hour ago . It was ten o'clock , and Gygi was sounding the _ couvre feu _ from the old church tower . They put the fire out and walked home arm in arm , separating with hushed good-nights in the courtyard of the Citadelle . But Rogers did not hear the scolding Mother gave them when they appeared at the Den door , for he went on at once to his own room in the carpenter 's house , with the feeling that he had lived always in Bourcelles , and would never leave it again . His Scheme had moved bodily from London to the forest .
