twelve o'clock
I am your spoiled daughter , Daphne There was a knock at the door . `` Avanti , '' called the girl . Assunta entered , with a saffron-colored night-cap on . In her hand she held Giacomo 's great brass watch , and she pointed in silence to the face , which said twelve o'clock . She put watch and candle on the table , marched to the windows , and closed and bolted them all . `` The candles are lighted in the Signorina 's bedroom , '' she remarked . `` Thank you , '' said Daphne , who did not understand a word .
