four in the
afternoon
Trevor locked it up again . On the following day Trevor started early , did his scouting in Water Lane , and settled with Mr. Mahony about his gang of muscular young prize - fighters . He also brought the native Australian curiosity , and sent Mrs. Lumley 's portmanteau to have the lock repaired . Merton determined to call at Dr. Fogarty 's asylum at four in the afternoon . The gang , under Trevor , was to arrive half an hour later , and to surround and enter the premises if Merton did not emerge within half an hour . At four o'clock exactly Trevor 's brougham was at the gates of the asylum . The footman rang the bell , a porter opened a wicket , and admitted a lady of fashionable aspect , who asked for Dr. Fogarty .
