eight o’clock in the morning
Ayrton said nothing more , as if convinced his Lordship was right . When evening came , Scotch and Irish separated . Ayrton and Paddy O'Moore and family returned home . Horses and wagons were to be ready the next day , and eight o'clock in the morning was fixed for starting . Lady Helena and Mary Grant soon made their preparations . They had less to do than Jacques Paganel , for he spent half the night in arranging , and wiping , and rubbing up the lenses of his telescope . Of course , next morning he slept on till the Major 's stentorian voice roused him .
