nearly two o’clock in the
morning
It was the serenity of the infant ages enveloping the joy of a tribe of savages , intoxicated by their first cask of eau-de-vie . Nevertheless , Coqueville went home to bed again . When there was nothing more left to drink , the Floches and the Mahés helped one another , carried one another , and ended by finding their beds again one way or another . On Saturday the fête lasted until nearly two o'clock in the morning . They had caught six casks , two of them enormous . Fouasse and Tupain almost fought . Tupain , who was wicked when drunk , talked of finishing his brother .
