six in the evening
When they seated themselves in their carriage , they seemed to be greater strangers than before . It had been decided that the wedding feast should be a family affair at a little restaurant on the heights of Belleville . The Michauds and Grivet alone were invited . Until six in the evening , the wedding party drove along the boulevards , and then repaired to the cheap eating-house where a table was spread with seven covers in a small private room painted yellow , and reeking of dust and wine . The repast was not accompanied by much gaiety . The newly married pair were grave and thoughtful . Since the morning , they had been experiencing strange sensations , which they did not seek to fathom .
