eight o’clock
Closing the door of his room , he motioned me to a chair and , seating himself before me , took out his pipe . We sat there for some time in silence and then I fell asleep . When I awoke it was daylight . It was eight o'clock by my watch . Rouletabille was no longer in the room . I rose to go out when the door opened and my friend re-entered . He had evidently lost no time .
