five o'clock
`` So that inevitably , at nine o'clock this evening , Arsène Lupin , on his way to the Great Oak , will take the patrol-path that follows the old ramparts and skirts the ruins of the chapel . I shall be there , in the ruins . '' `` I shall be there too , '' said the Duc de Sarzeau-Vendôme , quietly , taking down a gun . It was now five o'clock . The duke talked some time longer to his nephew , examined the weapons , loaded them with fresh cartridges . Then , when night came , he took d'Emboise through the dark passages to his bedroom and hid him in an adjoining closet . Nothing further happened until dinner .
