eight
o’clock
I walked into this room a few minutes before eleven on the morning after I had entertained Titherington in my hotel . `` The lady has n't arrived yet , '' I said . `` She 's gone , '' said Titherington . `` She was here at half-past eight o'clock . '' I noticed that Titherington spoke in a subdued way and that his eyes had a furtive expression I had never seen in them before . I felt encouraged to give expression to the annoyance which I felt . I told Titherington plainly that I thought he ought not to have changed the hour of the interview without telling me .
