twelve o’clock
So locking the chamber-door where the dead body lay , which by this time was stiff and cold , he locked that also of his uncle 's chamber , and calling the page , they all got themselves ready ; and putting two horses in the coach , they unseen and unperceived got themselves all out : the servants having drank hard at their meeting in the country last night , were all too sound asleep to understand any thing of what passed . It being now about the break of day , _ Octavio _ was the coachman , and the page riding by the coach-side , while _ Sylvia _ and _ Antonet _ were in it , they in an hour 's time reached the town , where _ Octavio _ packed up all that was carriageable ; took his own coach and six horses ; left his affairs to the management of a kinsman , that dwelt with him , took bills to the value of two thousand pounds , and immediately left the town , after receiving some letters that came last night by the post , one of which was from _ Philander _ ; and indeed , this new grief upon _ Octavio _ ' . soul , made him the most dejected and melancholy man in the world , insomuch that he , who never wept for any thing but for love , was often found with tears rolling down his cheeks , at the remembrance of an accident so deplorable , and of which , he and his unhappy passion was the cause , though innocently : yet could not the dire reflection of that , nor the loss of so tender a parent as was _ Sebastian _ , lessen one spark of that fire for _ Sylvia _ , whose unfortunate flame had been so fatal . While they were safe out of danger , the servants of _ Sebastian _ admired when ten , eleven and twelve o'clock was come , they saw neither the old lord , nor any of the new guests . But when the coachman missed his coach and horses , he was in a greater maze , and thought some body had stolen them , and accusing himself of sluggishness and debauchery , that made him not able to hear , when the coach went out , he forswore all drinking : but when the house-keeper and he met , and discoursed about the lady and the rest , they concluded , that the old gentleman and she were agreed upon the matter ; and being got to bed together had quite forgot themselves ; and made a thousand roguish remarks upon them . They believed the maid and the page too , were as well employed , since they saw neither . But when dinner was ready , she went up to the maid 's chamber and found it empty , as also that of the page ; her heart then presaging something , she ventures to knock at her lord 's chamber-door , but finding it locked , and none answer , they broke it open ; and after doing the same by that of _ Sylvia _ , they found the poor _ Sebastian _ stretched on the floor , and shot in the head , the toilet pulled almost down , and the lock of the pistol hanging in the point of the toilet entangled , and the muzzle of it just against the wound .
