two in the
morning
Simp , Pisgah , and Freckle thought Hugenot a villain . He had not even attended the obsequies of the lamented Lees . But Andy Plade forcibly urged that Hugenot was a good speaker , and would be needed for a sentiment . In the evening a lunch was served by Mr. Simp , of which some young ladies of the Paris _ demi-monde _ partook ; the `` Bonnie Blue Flag '' was sung with great spirit , and Freckle became so intoxicated at two in the morning that one of the young ladies was prevailed upon to see him to his hotel . There was great joy in the Latin Quarter when it was known that the Southern Colony had won at Wisbaden , and meant to pay its debts . The tailors , shoemakers , tobacconists , publicans , grocers and hosiers met in squads upon corners to talk it over ; all the gentlemen obtained loans , and , as evidence of how liberal they meant to be , commenced by giving away whatever old effects they had . A _ cabinet _ or small saloon of the most expensive restaurant in Paris was pleasantly adorned for the first reunion of the Confederate exiles .
