two in the morning
There was a policeman on one side and there was a footman on the other . It was a bare little room , and he lived principally on bread . In those days his only regret was that he had not the necessary threepence to go to the cafe . `` One ca n't go to the cafe without threepence to pay for the harmless bock , and if one has threepence one can sit in the cafe discussing Carpeaux , Rodin , and the mysteries , until two in the morning , when one is at last ejected by an exhausted proprietor at the head of numerous waiters . '' Rodney 's resolutions were not broken ; he had managed to live for nearly a year in Paris upon fifty pounds , and when he came to the end of his money he went to London in search of work . He found himself in London with two pounds , but he had got work from a sculptor , a pupil of Dalous : `` a clever man , '' Rodney said , `` a good sculptor ; it is a pity he died . '' At this time Garvier was in fairly good health and had plenty of orders , and besides Rodney he employed three Italian carvers , and from these Italians Rodney learned Italian , and he spent two years in London earning three pounds a week .
