five o'clock in the
morning
Coralie died as a Christian ; her repentance was sincere . Her agony and death took all energy and heart out of Lucien . He sank into a low chair at the foot of the bed , and never took his eyes off her till Death brought the end of her suffering . It was five o'clock in the morning . Some singing-bird lighting upon a flower-pot on the window-sill , twittered a few notes . Berenice , kneeling by the bedside , was covering a hand fast growing cold with kisses and tears . On the chimney-piece there lay eleven sous .
