about two o'clock
I comprehend , '' cried Germain . `` But you will see if I had not ill-luck : no police passed . I could have robbed myself twenty times at my ease . At length , about two o'clock , I heard the snails at the end of the street ; I opened my window , and broke two or three panes of glass to make a devil of a noise ; I dashed in the window , jumped into the room , and seized the money box and some clothes . Happily , the patrol had heard the jingling of the glass just as I got out of the window . I was nabbed by the guard , who , at the noise of breaking glass , had come to see what was the matter . They knocked at the door ; the porter opened it ; they sent for the commissary ; he came ; the porter said that the rooms had been taken the evening previous by a gentleman with a hunchback , with black hair and blue spectacles , and who was named Grégoire .
