midnight
I was going to consult the Jew Manasses , who reads the future ; he lives , as you know , in Rue de la Tournelle . In passing , Aurilly saw you and took you for the watch , and we , therefore , tried to hide ourselves in a doorway . And now you know what to believe and say ; it is needless to add , that I do not wish to be followed , '' and he turned away . `` Monseigneur , '' said Aurilly , `` I am sure these men have bad intentions ; it is near midnight , and this is a lonely quarter ; let us return home , I beg . '' `` No , no ; let us profit by their departure . '' `` Your highness is deceived ; they have not gone , but have returned to their retreat : look in the angle of the Hôtel des Tournelles . '' François looked , and saw that Aurilly was right ; it was evident that they waited for something , perhaps to see if the duke were really going to the Jew .
