about two in
the afternoon
As for me I lay , on a bench , rolled in my cloak , and slept as I have not slept since I was twenty . Nino knew that the danger of pursuit was past now , and that the first thing necessary was to give Hedwig rest ; for she was so tired that she could not eat , though there were very good eggs to be had , of which I ate three , and drank some wine , which does not compare to that on the Roman side . The sturdy man from Subiaco seemed like iron , for he ate sparingly and drank less , and went out into the village to secure a conveyance and to inquire the nearest way to Ceprano . But when , as I have said , Nino had guarded Hedwig 's door for five hours he woke me from my sleep , and by that time it was about two in the afternoon . `` Hi , Messer Cornelio ! wake up ! '' he cried pulling my arm .
