about one o'clock in the
afternoon
The Emperor had gone to Rochefort -- they said ; the King was coming back -- Louis the XVIII . was _ en route _ -- and so forth . They knew nothing certain in the city , where they should soonest know everything . The enemy attacked us in the suburbs of Issy about one o'clock in the afternoon , and we fought till midnight for our capital . The people aided as much as possible ; they carried off the wounded from under the enemy 's fire ; even the women took pity on us . What we suffered from being driven to this , I can not describe . I have seen Buche himself cry because we were in one sense dishonored .
