seven o'clock
`` But -- but there were three , '' gasped Antoine . `` Yes , a miserable idiot , who had been so long in confinement for a murder that he was forgotten by the authorities , was substituted for me . At length I obtained , through the assistance of my sister , the position of _ concierge _ in the Hôtel Marboeuf , in the Rue Grange Bateliere . I entered on my new place yesterday evening , and was desired to awaken the gentleman on the third floor at seven o'clock . When I entered the room to do so , you were asleep ; but before I had time to speak , you awoke , and I recognized your features in the glass . Knowing that I could not vindicate my innocence if you chose to seize me , I fled , and seeing an omnibus starting for St. Denis , I got on it with a vague idea of getting on to Calais and crossing the Channel to England . But having only a franc or two in my pocket , or indeed in the world , I did not know how to procure the means of going forward ; and whilst I was lounging about the place , forming first one plan and then another , I saw you in the church , and , concluding that you were in pursuit of me , I thought the best way of eluding your vigilance was to make my way back to Paris as fast as I could ; so I set off instantly , and walked all the way ; but having no money to pay my night 's lodging , I came here to borrow a couple of livres of my sister Claudine , who is a _ brodeuse _ and resides _ au cinquième _ .
