five o’clock
in the morning
He is a man who reflects ; he is a clever fellow , as well as himself a writer -- such a writer ! His pen glides along with ease , and in such a style -LRB- even when he is writing the most ordinary , the most insignificant of articles -RRB- that I have often remarked upon the fact , both to Phaldoni and to Theresa . Often , too , I go to spend an evening with him . He reads aloud to us until five o'clock in the morning , and we listen to him . It is a revelation of things rather than a reading . It is charming , it is like a bouquet of flowers -- there is a bouquet of flowers in every line of each page . Besides , he is such an approachable , courteous , kind-hearted fellow !
