unlucky hour

What I dreaded was, that in some unlucky hour I, being at my grimiest and commonest, should lift up my eyes and see Estella looking in at one of the wooden windows of the forge.

Naturally, however, nothing came of this, except the discovery that I had been out of nights lately; which had scarcely been made when who should appear on the scene, in an unlucky hour for me, but the gentleman who had identified me outside the gaming room at the "Rose."

As for me, up to now, I have never spoken in an unlucky hour, God preserve me!

We had whips of vegetables from my garden, until Braun in an unlucky hour gave Ellison permission to turn a few cows into his paddock.

He can only suggest that they should shut the child up in a tower till the unlucky hour be past, after which his fate will have no more power over him.
