eleven o’clock
Lucien spoke the last word at bedtime : `` You do not know my influence . The prefect 's wife stands in fear of a journalist ; and besides , Louise de Negrepelisse lives on in the Comtesse du Chatelet , and a woman with her influence can rescue David . I am going to tell her about my brother 's invention , and it would be a mere nothing to her to obtain a subsidy of ten thousand francs from the Government for him . '' At eleven o'clock that night the whole household was awakened by the town band , reinforced by the military band from the barracks . The Place du Murier was full of people . The young men of Angouleme were giving Lucien Chardon de Rubempre a serenade . Lucien went to his sister 's window and made a speech after the last performance .
