About one o'clock
The spectacle from the summit must be so marvellous ! And then what satisfaction there would be in having accomplished what so many others dared not undertake ! My courage was restored by these thoughts , and I calmly awaited the moment of departure . About one o'clock the steps and voices of the guides , and the noise of opening doors , indicated that that moment was approaching . Soon Ravanel came in and said , `` Come , messieurs , get up ; the weather is magnificent . By ten o'clock we shall be at the summit . '' At these words we leaped from our beds , and hurried to make our toilet .
