eleven o'clock
The king asked how it could be managed , and the doctor told him the marquis had contrived it before his majesty came to the castle , having for that reason appointed the place where they were for his bed-chamber , and not that in the great tower , which the marquis himself liked the best in the castle . ` I know my lord 's drift well enough , ' said the king , smiling : ` either he means to chide me , or else to convert me to his religion . ' ` I doubt not , sire , ' returned the doctor , ` but your majesty is temptation-proof as well as correction-free , and will return the same man you go , having made a profitable exchange of gold and silver for words and sleep . ' Upon Dr. Bayly 's report of his success , the marquis sent him back to tell the king that at eleven o'clock he would be waiting his majesty in a certain room to which the doctor would conduct him . This was the room the marquis 's father had occupied and in which he died , called therefore ` my lord Privy-seal 's chamber . ' Since then the marquis had never allowed any one to sleep in it , hardly any one to go into it ; whence it came that although all the rest of the castle was crowded , this one room remained empty and fit for their purpose . To understand the precautions taken to keep their interview a secret , we must remember that , although he had not a better friend in all England , such reason had the king to fear losing his protestant friends from their jealousy of catholic influence , that he had never invited the marquis of Worcester to sit with him in council ; and that the marquis on his part was afraid both of injuring the cause of the king , and of being himself impeached for treason .
