Four o'clock
We now usher the reader into Dr. Baleinier 's asylum , in which Mdlle . de Cardoville was confined . Adrienne de Cardoville had been still more strictly confined in Dr. Baleinier 's house , since the double nocturnal attempt of Agricola and Dagobert , in which the soldier , though severely wounded , had succeeded , thanks to the intrepid devotion of his son , seconded by the heroic Spoil sport , in gaining the little garden gate of the convent , and escaping by way of the boulevard , along with the young smith . Four o'clock had just struck . Adrienne , since the previous day , had been removed to a chamber on the second story of the asylum . The grated window , with closed shutters , only admitted a faint light to this apartment . The young lady , since her interview with Mother Bunch , expected to be delivered any day by the intervention of her friends .
