ten o'clock
* * * Mr. Horatius Condor , Junior , who consented to partake of luncheon in company with our representative at the Holborn Restaurant , was at first disinclined to be of much assistance , but eventually supplied our representative with the following information : My relationship to Mr. Archibald Quincey , Harcourt Buildings , Temple , is perhaps a little difficult to define . How he himself regards me I am never quite sure . There will be days together when we will be quite friendly like , and at other times he will be that offhanded and peremptory you might think I was his blooming office boy . On Friday morning , the twenty-eighth , I did n't get to Harcourt Buildings at the usual time , knowing that Mr. Quincey would not be there himself , he having arranged to interview Mr. Parable for the Daily Chronicle at ten o'clock . I allowed him half an hour , to be quite safe , and he came in at a quarter past eleven . He took no notice of me . For about ten minutes -- it may have been less -- he walked up and down the room , cursing and swearing and kicking the furniture about .
