one o'clock
Combing his hair before the looking-glass , and looking at his ugly face , pale from his sleepless night , he thought : `` It 's perfectly true ... an ugly duckling ! '' When _ maman _ saw him and was horrified that he was not at his examination , Volodya said : `` I overslept myself , _ maman _ ... . But do n't worry , I will get a medical certificate . '' Madame Shumihin and Nyuta waked up at one o'clock . Volodya heard Madame Shumihin open her window with a bang , heard Nyuta go off into a peal of laughter in reply to her coarse voice . He saw the door open and a string of nieces and other toadies -LRB- among the latter was his _ maman _ -RRB- file into lunch , caught a glimpse of Nyuta 's freshly washed laughing face , and , beside her , the black brows and beard of her husband the architect , who had just arrived . Nyuta was wearing a Little Russian dress which did not suit her at all , and made her look clumsy ; the architect was making dull and vulgar jokes .
