O'clock

[Vittoria Cameron]

Hello everyone!

I'm translating a short story by Poe (The Devil in the Belfry) and it starts with a quote that goes:

What o'clock is it? -- Old Saying.



My try:


¿Qué hora exacta es? (Antiguo adagio)


Any suggestions??? O'clock necessarily implies sharp?


Thank you!!

No, it just means what time is it - qué hora es.

I agree, just "¿Qué hora es?"

Lo que tienes que encontrar es una forma vieja de "Qué hora es!", creo. ¿Hay algo en Don Quixote por ejemplo?
