ten o'clock
It is he who has snatched her from her lodging-house , to lead her into luxury , because of his faithful love of many years ; and this is the way she rewards him ! If I 'd been in his place , and had a javelin handy , I think I might suddenly have become a widower . She was better after dinner , however , so I knew she must have been well fed : and in the morning , after a gorgeous _ déjeuner _ on the loggia , she was in an amiable mood to plan for the day 's journey . At ten o'clock the chauffeur arrived , and was shown up to the Turnours ' vast Louis XVI . salon . He looked as much like an icily regular , splendidly null , bronze statue as a flesh-and-blood young man could possibly look , for that , no doubt , is his conception of the part of a well-trained `` shuvver '' ; and he did not seem aware of my existence as he stood , cap in hand , ready for orders . As for me , I flatter myself that I was equally admirable in my own _ métier _ .
