about midnight
Later in the same evening he finds himself shut up in the young lady 's bedroom , and hears her and her mother talking secrets which very nearly concern him . The carrying off of Ludovica from Poland to Paris is very smartly managed -LRB- I am not sure that the great Alexander or one of his `` young men '' did not borrow some details from it for the arrest of D'Artagnan and Porthos after their return from England -RRB- , and the way in which she and a double of hers , Trinette van Poupenheim , are mixed up is really clever . So is the general cross-purposing . Cabmen turn up just when they should ; and though letters dropped out of pockets are as common as blackberries , I know few better excuses for such carelessness than the fact that you have pulled the letter out with a silk wrapper , which you proceed to fold tenderly round the beautiful neck of a damsel in a cab somewhere about midnight . A holograph will made on the eve of Waterloo and preserved for fifteen years by the faithful depositary ; a good doctor , of course ; many bad Jesuits , of course ; another , and this time virtuous , though very impudent , carrying-off of the _ other _ young woman from the clutches of the hated _ congréganistes _ ; -LSB- 73 -RSB- a boghei ; -LSB- 74 -RSB- a jokei ; a third _ enlèvement _ of the real Ludovica , who escapes by a cellar-trap ; and many other agreeable things , end in the complete defeat of the wicked and the marriage of the good to the tune of _ four _ couples , the thing being thus done to the last in Ducange 's usual handsome manner . -LSB- 75 -RSB- I do not know whether _ Ludovica _ was melodramatised . _ Le Jésuite _ of the same year by Ducange and the great Pixérécourt looks rather like it ; and so does _ Il y a Seize Ans _ of a year later , which he seems to have written alone .
