about ten o'clock
For it was understood that , though the Beargarden was not to be open before three o'clock in the afternoon , the accommodation denied during the day was to be given freely during the night . No man could get a breakfast at the Beargarden , but suppers at three o'clock in the morning were quite within the rule . Such a supper , or rather succession of suppering , there had been to-night , various devils and broils and hot toasts having been brought up from time to time first for one and then for another . But there had been no cessation of gambling since the cards had first been opened about ten o'clock . At four in the morning Dolly Longestaffe was certainly in a condition to lend his horses and to remember nothing about it . He was quite affectionate with Lord Grasslough , as he was also with his other companions , -- affection being the normal state of his mind when in that condition . He was by no means helplessly drunk , and was , perhaps , hardly more silly than when he was sober ; but he was willing to play at any game whether he understood it or not , and for any stakes .
