A quarter past twelve
` If you ask me that , ' said Dr. May , earnestly , ` all I have to say is , that I do n't know what palace is worthy of you . ' There was not much said after that ; and the Doctor fell asleep , waking only at the halts at stations to ask where he was . At last came ` Blewer ! ' and as the light shone on the clock , Leonard said , ` A quarter past twelve ! It is the very train I went by ! Is it a dream ? ' Ten minutes more , and ` Stoneborough ' was the cry .
