eight
o'clock
It is true , it was of no great use to us , for when we had finished , we had neither of us eaten anything -- we were too happy . At eleven o'clock , Germain went away ; we agreed to meet the next morning . At five o'clock I was up and at work , for I was two days behindhand . At eight o'clock some one knocked ; I opened ; who should come in but M. Rudolph . At once I began to thank him from the bottom of my heart for what he had done for Germain ; he would not let me finish . ` My neighbor , ' said he to me , ` Germain will soon be here ; give him this letter . You and he will take a cab , and go at once to a little village called Bouqueval , near Ecouen , on the St. Denis Road .
