One o'clock in the morning
Elysée shook his head sadly , disbelieving . Auguste was sad , too , thinking how much more there was to the world than Grandpapa would ever let himself know . The Seth Thomas clock on the mantel over the fireplace chimed once , making them all jump . One o'clock in the morning . Auguste , at the end of a journey by railroad , steamboat , coach and horseback that had taken weeks , felt a bone-deep ache of exhaustion . But it was only bodily fatigue . Now that he was in Victor he was excited , and his mind was wide awake .
