about five o'clock
`` But I must see the sight to-morrow , '' I said ; and soon after that I took my leave . * * * * * It was a marvellous sight indeed , the next evening . I went to see a Mr. Martin in the morning , that lived in the Strand , a Catholic bookseller , and got leave from him to sit in his window from dinner onwards , that I might see the show . It was about five o'clock that the affair began ; and the day was pretty dark by then . A great number of people began to assemble little by little , up Fleet Street on the one side , the Strand on the other , and down Chancery Lane in the midst ; for it was announced everywhere , and even by criers in some parts , that the procession would take place and would end at Temple Bar . My Lord Shaftesbury , who had lately lost the presidency of the Council , had rendered himself irreconcilable with the Duke of York , and his only hope -LRB- as well as of others with him -RRB- lay in ruining His Highness . All this , therefore , was designed to rouse popular feeling against the Duke and the Catholic cause .
