eight o'clock at night
Bring a priest with you , if you can find one , to the little room behind the King 's bed ; but bring him up the stairs the other way . Bid him stay till I send Chiffinch to him . '' Then we were gone at full speed . It was eight o'clock at night ; and the priest and I were still waiting in the little room ; and no word was come through from the Bedchamber , beyond that Mr. Chiffinch had come through once to bid us be ready . * * * * * Once again God had favoured us in spite of all our blunders . The Count and I had run together through to Her Majesty 's lodging and there we had found , as I knew we should , a priest that knew English . But I had not thought that God 's Hand should be so visible in the matter as that we should find none other but Mr. Huddleston himself , the Scotsman , that had saved the King 's life after the battle of Worcester .
