twelve o'clock
McNeice , whom I had hoped to meet , was not on the yacht . The steward explained to us that he was spending the day with Crossan . I could see that the thought of any one spending the day with Crossan outraged Godfrey 's sense of decency . By way , I suppose , of annoying Power , he asked what had been happening on the _ Finola _ at twelve o'clock the night before . `` I was awakened up , '' he said , `` by the noise of carts going along the street and I looked out . I could see lights on the yacht and on the pier . What on earth were you doing at that time of night ? ''
