eleven o’clock
You received Adjutant Charles at eleven o'clock in the morning , while you never leave your bed before one o'clock . Oh , that handsome young fellow wanted to tell you how he was yearning for his home in Paris , and what his mother and sister had written to him , I suppose ? For that reason so convenient an hour had to be chosen ? For that reason he came at eleven o'clock while you were in bed yet . His ardor was so intense , and if he had been compelled to wait until one o'clock , impatience would have burned his soul to ashes !
