six in the morning
`` That gentleman in debt to you ? '' `` Sure ! One day I got him out of a bad fix . It was on a Friday at half-past six in the morning , I still remember , because I had n't breakfasted . That lady who is followed by a duenna is the celebrated Pepay , the dancing girl , but she does n't dance any more now that a very Catholic gentleman and a great friend of mine has -- forbidden it . There 's the death 's - head Z -- , who 's surely following her to get her to dance again . He 's a good fellow , and a great friend of mine , but has one defect -- he 's a Chinese mestizo and yet calls himself a Peninsular Spaniard .
