twelve
o'clock
If she would only just render me this great service now ... . But madam had no lamp . She considered a bit , but could not call to mind that she had a lamp in any place . If I liked to wait until twelve o'clock , I might perhaps get the kitchen lamp . Why did n't I buy myself a candle ? I held my tongue . I had n't a farthing to buy a candle , and knew that right well .
