twenty minutes to three
If I ride fast -- I 'll borrow the doctor 's bicycle . I ca n't stand this loose pedal of yours any more . If I ride fast I 'll be there by half-past two . Say twenty minutes to three . Allowing for twenty minutes in which to persuade Simpkins to start home at once , I ought to be on my way back by three . I 'll hustle him along a bit , and there 's no reason that I can see why he should n't be at Ballymoy House by half-past five . '' `` You 'll never do all that , '' said Doyle .
