nine o'clock in the morning
On returning home late one evening from Mariya Viktorovna 's I found waiting in my room a young police inspector in a new uniform ; he was sitting at my table , looking through my books . `` At last , '' he said , getting up and stretching himself . `` This is the third time I have been to you . The Governor commands you to present yourself before him at nine o'clock in the morning . Without fail . '' He took from me a signed statement that I would act upon his Excellency 's command , and went away . This late visit of the police inspector and unexpected invitation to the Governor 's had an overwhelmingly oppressive effect upon me .
