two in the morning
There was a fellow whom they would have taken great pleasure in seeing guillotined ! No , the guillotine was not enough ; he deserved to be cut into little pieces . The story of an infanticide equally aroused their indignation ; but the hatter , highly moral , found excuses for the woman , putting all the wrong on the back of her husband ; for after all , if some beast of a man had not put the wretched woman into the way of bleak poverty , she could not have drowned it in a water closet . They were most delighted though by the exploit of a Marquis who , coming out of a dance hall at two in the morning , had defended himself against an attack by three blackguards on the Boulevard des Invalides . Without taking off his gloves , he had disposed of the first two villains by ramming his head into their stomachs , and then had marched the third one off to the police . What a man ! Too bad he was a noble .
