four in the morning
` Upon my word , young lady , ' said he , ` you are very amusing . So you are going to say that I availed myself of your being asleep to effect your undoing . But who do you suppose will credit such a falsehood ? It is now four in the morning , and since ten o'clock last night I have been here . You must have slept long and soundly not to have discovered my presence sooner . Come , come , no more attempts at shyness , but confess the truth , that I came hither with your perfect good-will and consent . You must be less capricious or we shall not keep good friends , I fear .
