two in the
morning
`` I do n't know that the load need be so heavy , Duchess . '' `` Ah , but what is the load ? It is not going to the Treasury Chambers at eleven or twelve in the morning , and sitting four or five times a week in the House of Lords till seven or eight o'clock . He was never ill when he would remain in the House of Commons till two in the morning , and not have a decent dinner above twice in the week . The load I speak of is n't work . '' `` What is it then ? '' said the Duke , who in truth understood it all nearly as well as the Duchess herself .
