twelve o'clock
At eleven o'clock the trumpets sounded to announce change of guard , and to tell the kitchen folk that dishing-time was come . Half an hour later once more the little procession glinted a moment through the ground-floor window of the Queen 's stair as her Grace went to dinner . -LRB- She was not very well , the cooks had reported , and had eaten but little last night . -RRB- At twelve o'clock she came out again and went upstairs ; and at the same time , in Leicester , a young man , splashed from head to foot , slipped off a draggled and exhausted horse and went into an inn , ordering a fresh horse to be ready for him at three o'clock . And so once more the sun went down , and the little rituals were performed , and the guards were changed , and M. Landet , for the last time in his life -LRB- though he did not know it -RRB- , came out from the kitchen with his white rod to bear it before the dishes of a Queen ; and Sir Amyas walked in from the orchard and was saluted , and Mr. FitzWilliam went his rounds , and the drawbridge was raised . And , at the time that the drawbridge was raised , a young man on a horse was wondering when he should see the lights of Burton ... The first that Mistress Manners knew of his coming in the early hours of Monday morning , was when she was awakened by Janet in the pitch darkness shaking her shoulder .
