two in the morning
why didst thou not see thy apotheosis in those eyes ? And thy name so often profaned , would that I never heard it repeated ! JUNE 19 . I no longer remember where I stopped in my narrative : I only know it was two in the morning when I went to bed ; and if you had been with me , that I might have talked instead of writing to you , I should , in all probability , have kept you up till daylight . I think I have not yet related what happened as we rode home from the ball , nor have I time to tell you now . It was a most magnificent sunrise : the whole country was refreshed , and the rain fell drop by drop from the trees in the forest . Our companions were asleep .
