eleven o'clock
One chapel was hit by the trembling light of a lamp . A woman was kneeling before the altar , or rather , crouching on the steps . This woman was Helen . The eleven o'clock train had brought the news that a battle would take place that day . At twelve o'clock Helen and her maid had taken a carriage , and driven by Hans had gone down the Aschaffenburg road as far as the Dornighem wood . There , in the country silence they had heard the sound of cannon . It is unnecessary to say that each shot had had an echo in her heart .
