noon
There is but one way for a bachelor to overcome his horror of babies , and he should n't wait too long . I went to sleep about four o'clock , still oppressed by the dread of meeting a new baby . My contact with the one hundred and sixty-nine sight-seers was brief but exceedingly convincing . They invaded the castle before I was out of bed , having -- as I afterwards heard -- the breweries , an art gallery and the Zoological gardens to visit before noon and therefore were required to make an early start . The cathedral , which is always open to visitors and never has any one sleeping in it , was reserved for the afternoon . I was aroused from my belated sleep by the sound of mighty cataracts and the tread of countless elephants . Too late I realised that the tourists were upon me !
