morning about ten o'clock
The gazettes were full of the new constitution , which they called the `` Additional Act , '' and the act of the `` Champ de Mai . '' Mr. Goulden always had something to say , sometimes about one article and sometimes another , but I mixed no more in these affairs , and repented of having complained of the processions and expiations ; I had had enough of politics . This lasted till the 23d of May . That morning about ten o'clock I was in the great hall of the arsenal , filling the boxes with guns . The great door was wide open , and the men were waiting with their wagons before the bullet park , to load up the boxes . I had nailed the last one , when Robert , the guard , touched me on the shoulder and said in my ear : `` Bertha , the Commandant Montravel wishes to see you . He is in the pavilion . ''
