eleven o'clock
Have you so soon forgotten how I chided you but just now for the very same fault ? There , drive away all such foolish thoughts ! dress yourself as quickly as you can , and pray wrap up very carefully . If we are quick , we may reach Arnouville before eleven o'clock . '' Then , leaving Fleur-de-Marie to perform the duties of her simple toilet , Madame Georges retired to her own chamber , first dismissing Claudine with an intimation to Pierre that herself and niece would be ready to start almost immediately . Half an hour afterwards , Madame Georges and Marie were on their way to Arnouville , in one of those large , roomy cabriolets , in use among the rich farmers in the environs of Paris ; and briskly did their comfortable vehicle , drawn by a stout Norman horse , roll over the grassy road which led from Bouqueval to Arnouville . The extensive buildings and numerous appendages to the farm , tenanted by M. Dubreuil in the latter village , bore testimony to the wealth and importance of the property bestowed as a marriage-portion on Mlle. Césarine de Noirmont upon her union with the Duke de Lucenay .
