five in the morning
Poor Greene ! He had lost more than his box within the last twelve months ; for , as I had learned in that whispered conversation over the tea-table with Sophonisba ; this was in reality her papa 's marriage trip . Another day was now gone , and we all went to bed . Had I not been very foolish I should have had myself called at five in the morning , and have gone away by the early boat , leaving my ten napoleons behind me . But , unfortunately , Sophonisba had exacted a promise from me that I would not do this , and thus all chance of spending a day or two in Venice was lost to me . Moreover , I was thoroughly fatigued , and almost glad of any excuse which would allow me to lie in bed on the following morning . I did lie in bed till nine o'clock , and then found the Greenes at breakfast .
