ten o'clock
Toward ten o'clock in the morning the Abbe Brigaud entered D'Harmental 's room ; he brought him 20,000 francs , partly in gold , partly in Spanish paper . The duchess had passed the night at the Comtesse de Chavigny 's , in the Rue du Mail . The plans of the preceding day were in no degree changed , and they had ascertained that the regent would pay his accustomed visit to Chelles . At ten o'clock Brigaud and D'Harmental went down , Brigaud to join Pompadour and Valef on the Boulevard du Temple , and D'Harmental to visit Bathilde . Uneasiness was at its height in the little household ; Buvat was still absent , and it was easy to see by Bathilde 's eyes that she had had but little sleep . As soon as she saw D'Harmental , she understood that some expedition was preparing . D'Harmental again wore that dark costume in which she had never seen him but on that evening when , on returning , he had thrown his mantle on a chair , and displayed to her sight the pistols in his belt .
