eleven o'clock
`` The second . Tom 's gone off already , and I 'm going to relieve him at eleven . So I must be getting along : I want my supper and two or three hours ' sleep . '' So Tom would be out of his house till eleven o'clock ! Such a chance might never occur again . Long John hastened home at once and got everything ready . As it would not do to start too early , because people might be about , John waited till nearly ten o'clock , and then sallied out .
