one o'clock in the morning
There was America -- there was France . `` It changed the current of the talk . After that we talked all together , the two bourgeois joining in ... sober talk enough , of probabilities and hopes and fears . `` As I walked home at one o'clock in the morning through the silent black streets of Paris , turning over and over what that poor disinherited slum-dweller had said as we parted , quite as earnestly and simply as he had poured out all his disgust and revolt , ` Good-bye , Ma'ame , I never met an American before . I hope I 'll meet many more . You tell the Americans the FRENCH WILL SEE IT THROUGH ... if a new offensive is necessary ... we 'll do it ! It 's the only chance anybody has to have a world fit to live in ! ' ''
