about three in the afternoon
-LSB- Figure 2 -RSB- Near an old cathedral , under a shed , were three crosses of stone -- moldy and damaged things , bearing life-size stone figures . The two thieves were dressed in the fanciful court costumes of the middle of the sixteenth century , while the Saviour was nude , with the exception of a cloth around the loins . We had dinner under the green trees in a garden belonging to the hotel and overlooking the Neckar ; then , after a smoke , we went to bed . We had a refreshing nap , then got up about three in the afternoon and put on our panoply . As we tramped gaily out at the gate of the town , we overtook a peasant 's cart , partly laden with odds and ends of cabbages and similar vegetable rubbish , and drawn by a small cow and a smaller donkey yoked together . It was a pretty slow concern , but it got us into Heilbronn before dark -- five miles , or possibly it was seven . We stopped at the very same inn which the famous old robber-knight and rough fighter Goetz von Berlichingen , abode in after he got out of captivity in the Square Tower of Heilbronn between three hundred and fifty and four hundred years ago .
