two o'clock at night
We are all getting precious tired , I can assure you , of broiling down there in the harbour . The decks are hot enough to cook a steak upon . When we started , today , we did n't see a creature in the streets . Everyone had gone off to bed , for two or three hours ; and the shops were all closed , as if it had been two o'clock at night , instead of two o'clock in the day . Even the dogs were all asleep , in the shade . I think we shall have to give up our walks , till August is over . It is getting too hot for anything , in the afternoon . ''
