three in the morning
I knew that she read the messages , for once she wrote an answer under one of them . Then my temper got the better of me , and I began to threaten her . She sent me a letter then , imploring me to go away and saying that it would break her heart if any scandal should come upon her husband . She said that she would come down when her husband was asleep at three in the morning , and speak with me through the end window , if I would go away afterwards and leave her in peace . She came down and brought money with her , trying to bribe me to go . This made me mad , and I caught her arm and tried to pull her through the window . At that moment in rushed the husband with his revolver in his hand .
