ten o'clock in the morning
Your life shall be my life , and your death my death ; both are in the hands of God . '' `` And I , Bathilde , '' said D'Harmental , leading her before the crucifix , `` I swear that from this moment you are my wife before God and before men ; and since the events which may dispose of my life leave me nothing but my love to offer to you , that love is yours -- profound , unalterable , eternal ; '' and the young people exchanged their first kiss with the renewal of their vows . When D'Harmental left Bathilde , Buvat had not returned . Toward ten o'clock in the morning the Abbe Brigaud entered D'Harmental 's room ; he brought him 20,000 francs , partly in gold , partly in Spanish paper . The duchess had passed the night at the Comtesse de Chavigny 's , in the Rue du Mail . The plans of the preceding day were in no degree changed , and they had ascertained that the regent would pay his accustomed visit to Chelles . At ten o'clock Brigaud and D'Harmental went down , Brigaud to join Pompadour and Valef on the Boulevard du Temple , and D'Harmental to visit Bathilde .
