nine o'clock in
the evening
` I got your telegram , sir , that I was n't to send any letters on . Gentlemen have called and I -- ' ` Indeed ? Who has called ? ' ` Why , sir , on the day after you went -- I dare say it was nine o'clock in the evening , or a little later -- someone came , wishing very much to see you . He would n't give a name . I do n't think it was a gentleman ; it seemed like somebody coming on business . He was very anxious to have your address .
