five o'clock
Madame Dambreuse wrote three letters , which she showed him . Without trusting him even to the care of the nun , she did not leave him for one second , and no longer went to bed . The ladies who had their names entered at the door-lodge made enquiries about her with feelings of admiration , and the passers-by were filled with respect on seeing the quantity of straw which was placed in the street under the windows . On the 12th of February , at five o'clock , a frightful hæmoptysis came on . The doctor who had charge of him pointed out that the case had assumed a dangerous aspect . They sent in hot haste for a priest . While M. Dambreuse was making his confession , Madame kept gazing curiously at him some distance away .
