nine o'clock
On the 9th of August , there was much noise and confusion throughout Paris ; and it became known that an insurrection was to take place the next morning . Louis knew that something was dreaded , but he slept as usual . His servant , Clery , put him to bed at half-past eight , while it was still daylight , and then went out , to try what he could learn of the proceedings of the people . The king and queen supped at nine o'clock . While Madame Campan waited on them at table , a noise was heard outside the door . Madame Campan went to see what it was . Two of the guards were fighting , -- one abusing the king , and the other insisting that he was sincere in professing to stand by the Constitution .
