ten o’clock
During the main assault , Cecil Cavendish will make a feint upon the provost 's windows , to be converted into a real attack if the ladies scream . GENERAL ORDER . The commissary-general , Foley , will supply the following articles for the use of the troops : Two hams ; eight pair of chickens , the same to be roasted ; a devilled turkey ; sixteen lobsters ; eight hundred of oysters , with a proportionate quantity of cold sherry and hot punch . The army will get drunk by ten o'clock to-night . Having made these dispositions , my lord , I proceeded to mislead the enemy as to our intentions , in suffering my servant to be taken with an intercepted despatch . This , being a prescription by Doctor Colles , would convey to the dean 's mind the impression that I was still upon the sick list . This being done , and four canisters of Dartford gunpowder being procured on tick , our military chest being in a most deplorable condition , I waited for the moment of attack .
