ten o'clock
I 'm usually out as soon as it 's light , so I hailed him as he passed and asked what on earth he was up for at that time of day . He told me his trouble , so I hitched up my light wagon and got to your house as soon as he did . When he found you had n't come yet , he was for starting right for the mountains , but I saw he was n't fit , so I says , ` Mr. Walton , you 'll just miss 'em . They 've taken a wrong road , or the wagon has broken down , but they 'll be home before ten o'clock . Now send Jeff up the road you expected them on . I 'll send Mr. Harris , who lives just beyond me , out on the road they took first . My horse is fast , and I 'll go round up this valley , and in this way we 'll soon scour every road ; ' and so with much coaxing I got him to promise to stay till I returned .
