about nine o’clock
When the servant maid came back from the butcher 's , she could not find the shirts , at which she was much vexed , and she asked everybody she met if they had seen them ? They all told her they knew nothing about them , and God knows what a time she had . Then came the servants of these worthy lords , who expected the shirts and were afraid to go to their masters without them , and grew angry because the shirts could not be found , and so did the host , and the hostess , and the maid . When it was about nine o'clock , these good lords called their servants , but none of them answered , for they were afraid to tell their masters about the loss of their shirts ; but at last , however , when it was between 11 and 12 o'clock , the host came , and the servants , and told the gentlemen how their shirts had been stolen , at which news two of them -- Masters Ymbert and Roland -- lost patience , but Jehan Le Tourneur took it easily , and did nothing but laugh , and called Montbleru , who pretended to be asleep , but who heard and knew all , and said to him , `` Montbleru , we are all in a nice mess . They have stolen our shirts . '' `` Holy Mary ! what do you say ? ''
