About two o’clock
Some change had come over Louise , he thought , but he could not explain it . And a change had , in fact , taken place . Events had occurred while he slept ; for reflection is an event in our inner history , and Mme. de Bargeton had been reflecting . About two o'clock that afternoon , Sixte du Chatelet made his appearance in the Rue de l'Echelle and asked for Albertine . The sleeping damsel was roused , and to her he expressed his wish to speak with her mistress . Mme. de Bargeton had scarcely time to dress before he came back again . The unaccountable apparition of M. du Chatelet roused the lady 's curiosity , for she had kept her journey a profound secret , as she thought .
