said Lord Arthur politely , ` if it is delivered to-morrow night or Thursday morning . For the moment of the explosion , say Friday at noon exactly . The Dean is always at home at that hour . ' ` Friday , at noon , ' repeated Herr Winckelkopf , and he made a note to that effect in a large ledger that was lying on a bureau near the fireplace . ` And now , ' said Lord Arthur , rising from his seat , ` pray let me know how much I am in your debt . ' ` It is such a small matter , Lord Arthur , that I do not care to make any charge . The dynamite comes to seven and sixpence , the clock will be three pounds ten , and the carriage about five shillings .
