about four o'clock
* * * * * A month later , Angélique de Sarzeau-Vendôme , Princesse de Bourbon-Condé , lawful wife of Arsène Lupin , took the veil and , under the name of Sister Marie-Auguste , buried herself within the walls of the Visitation Convent . On the day of the ceremony , the mother superior of the convent received a heavy sealed envelope containing a letter with the following words : `` For Sister Marie-Auguste 's poor . '' Enclosed with the letter were five hundred bank-notes of a thousand francs each . One day , at about four o'clock , as evening was drawing in , Farmer Goussot , with his four sons , returned from a day 's shooting . They were stalwart men , all five of them , long of limb , broad-chested , with faces tanned by sun and wind . And all five displayed , planted on an enormous neck and shoulders , the same small head with the low forehead , thin lips , beaked nose and hard and repellent cast of countenance . They were feared and disliked by all around them .
