About ten o'clock
Accordingly , the next morning , the two boys left word at their respective hotels where they were going , and set forth . They stole away very secretly , and after running round the corner , they crept along close to the wall of the hotel , until they thought they were at a safe distance . They reached the boat in good season , went on board , and in due time set sail . About ten o'clock , when the two boys had been gone about an hour , Mr. William began to miss his brother , and to wonder where he had gone . So he rang the bell , and his courier came into the room . `` Pacifico , '' said Mr. William , `` do you know where Copley is ? '' `` No , sir , '' said Pacifico ; `` I did not see him from since it was nine o'clock . ''
