Two o'clock
`` Now , sit down ; wait in this room , and do not remove the bandage till you hear two o'clock strike . You have not long to wait . '' At these words his conductress left him . Two o'clock soon struck , and the chevalier tore off the bandage . He was alone in the most marvelous boudoir possible to imagine . It was small and octagonal , hung with lilac and silver , with furniture and portieres of tapestry . Buhl tables , covered with splendid china ; a Persian carpet , and the ceiling painted by Watteau , who was then coming into fashion .
