seven o'clock
I told him he needed not put himself to the trouble , I was not affronted at all ; that I would do myself the honour to wait on him , provided he would give me his word not to speak any more of it as an affront . We had not been a quarter of an hour in his tent but Sir John Hepburn came in again , and addressing to me , told me he was glad to find me there ; that he came to the captain 's tent to inquire how to send to me ; and that I must do him the honour to go with him to wait on the king , who had a mind to hear the account I could give him of the Imperial army from my own mouth . I must confess I was at some loss in my mind how to make my address to his Majesty , but I had heard so much of the conversable temper of the king , and his particular sweetness of humour with the meanest soldier , that I made no more difficulty , but having paid my respects to Colonel Hepburn , thanked him for the honour he had done me , and offered to rise and wait upon him . `` Nay , '' says the Colonel , `` we will eat first , for I find Gourdon , '' which was the captain 's name , `` has got something for supper , and the king 's order is at seven o'clock . '' So we went to supper , and Sir John , becoming very friendly , must know my name ; which , when I had told him , and of what place and family , he rose from his seat , and embracing me , told me he knew my father very well , and had been intimately acquainted with him , and told me several passages wherein my father had particularly obliged him . After this we went to supper , and the king 's health being drank round , the colonel moved the sooner because he had a mind to talk with me . When we were going to the king he inquired of me where I had been , and what occasion brought me to the army .
