seven o’clock
`` Come during the third entr ' acte . '' I put the letter into a drawer , so that I might always have it at hand in case I doubted its reality , as I did from time to time . She did not tell me to come to see her during the day , and I dared not go ; but I had so great a desire to see her before the evening that I went to the Champs-Elysees , where I again saw her pass and repass , as I had on the previous day . At seven o'clock I was at the Vaudeville . Never had I gone to a theatre so early . The boxes filled one after another . Only one remained empty , the stage box .
