ten o'clock
At the top of the Rue Vivienne , a company of the Garde Mobile appeared . Then the citizens uttered cries of enthusiasm . They raised their hats , applauded , danced , wished to embrace them , and to invite them to drink ; and flowers , flung by ladies , fell from the balconies . At last , at ten o'clock , at the moment when the cannon was booming as an attack was being made on the Faubourg Saint-Antoine , Frederick reached the abode of Dussardier . He found the bookkeeper in his garret , lying asleep on his back . From the adjoining apartment a woman came forth with silent tread -- Mademoiselle Vatnaz . She led Frederick aside and explained to him how Dussardier had got wounded .
