eleven o'clock
On this roof are erected two structures : one , the governor 's residence ; the other , the Famese tower , a prison specially erected for a recalcitrant prince of earlier days . In this tower Fabrice , as a prisoner of importance , was confined ; and as he looked from the window on the evening of his arrival and beheld the superb panorama of the distant Alps , he reflected pleasantly that he might have found a worse dungeon . On the next morning his attention was absorbed by something nearer at hand . His window overlooked one belonging to the governor 's palace ; in this window were many bird cages , and at eleven o'clock a maiden came to feed the birds . Fabrice recognised her as Celia Conti , the governor 's daughter . He succeeded in attracting her attention ; she blushed and withdrew . But next day she came again at the same hour .
