Answer 1

Portia enters the orchard at three o'clock in the morning when it is dark.

Explanation:

It is three o'clock in the morning when the conspirators discuss whether Caesar would attend the Senate. Portia joins Brutus in the orchard only after the conspirators leave the secret meeting. It is still dark and the damp, cold night air makes Brutus worry about her health.
