six in the evening
While they were doing this , Zébédé came to see us several times . The prince was to come from Metz , the regiment had received letters , which represented him as being as severe as if he had gained fifty battles . But what vexed Zébédé most was , that the prince called our old officers , `` Soldiers of fortune . '' He arrived the 1st of October , at six in the evening , we heard the cannon when he was at Gerberhoff . He alighted at the `` Ville de Metz , '' without going under the arch . The square was crowded with officers in full uniform , and from all the windows the people shouted , `` Long live the King , Long live the Duke de Berry , '' just as they cried in the time of Napoleon , `` Long live the Emperor . '' Mr. Goulden and Catherine and I could not get near because of the crowd , and we only saw the carriages and the hussars file past .
