six o'clock
in the morning
`` Because I saw nothing in the Duke 's attentions except the agitation they caused me ; and I was too ashamed to speak of it to you . I thought , considering the position of the Duke , that I was an aspiring fool . He overheard me talking to Genevieve . When he appeared before us , I so little expected to see him there at such an hour -- six o'clock in the morning , in the grove -- that my heart could not bear the shock , and I fainted . From that instant I understood how much I loved him . I had no idea before of the power of love , but now I feel it the master of my life . I will sacrifice that to your will , father ; but I will not sacrifice the immense happiness of loving .
