five o'clock
In France , when once the impulse is given , nobody can stop . The colonel of the regiment offered to put his band at the disposal of the committee . The landlord of the _ Bell _ -LRB- renowned for truffled turkeys , despatched in the most wonderful porcelain jars to the uttermost parts of the earth -RRB- , the famous innkeeper of L'Houmeau , would supply the repast . At five o'clock some forty persons , all in state and festival array , were assembled in his largest ball , decorated with hangings , crowns of laurel , and bouquets . The effect was superb . A crowd of onlookers , some hundred persons , attracted for the most part by the military band in the yard , represented the citizens of Angouleme . Petit-Claud went to the window .
