eleven o'clock at night
Robin put on very vehemently ; and when we came to the little town , where we lay on Sunday night , he gave his horses a bait , and said , he would push for his master 's that night , as it would be moon-light , if I should not be too much fatigued because there was no place between that and the town adjacent to his master 's , fit to put up at , for the night . But Monsieur Colbrand 's horse beginning to give way , made a doubt between them : wherefore I said , -LRB- hating to be on the road , -RRB- if it could be done , I should bear it well enough , I hoped ; and that Monsieur Colbrand might leave his horse , when it failed , at some house , and come into the chariot . This pleased them both ; and , about twelve miles short , he left the horse , and took off his spurs and holsters , etc. and , with abundance of ceremonial excuses , came into the chariot ; and I sat the easier for it ; for my bones ached sadly with the jolting , and so many miles travelling in so few hours , as I have done , from Sunday night , five o'clock . But , for all this , it was eleven o'clock at night , when we came to the village adjacent to my master 's ; and the horses began to be very much tired , and Robin too : but I said , It would be pity to put up only three miles short of the house . So about one we reached the gate ; but every body was a-bed . But one of the helpers got the keys from Mrs. Jewkes , and opened the gates ; and the horses could hardly crawl into the stable . And I , when I went to get out of the chariot , fell down , and thought I had lost the use of my limbs .
