nine o'clock
There is n't anything going to happen to her ; just make your mind easy as to that . What did the letter say ? Said she was well , did n't it ? And said she 'd be here by nine o'clock , did n't it ? Did you ever know her to fail of her word ? Why , you know you never did . Well , then , do n't you fret ; she 'll _ be _ here , and that 's absolutely certain , and as sure as you are born .
