ten o'clock
You 're a doctor . '' -LSB- Illustration : `` STERN IN HER ANGER , MR. HERRICK , BUT OF AN AMIABLE AND FORGIVING DISPOSITION '' -RSB- `` Mr. Herrick , let us be going , I pray . '' ` From pole to pole the thunder roars aloud , And broken lightnings flash from ev'ry cloud . ' `` Besides which , sir , it is close upon ten o'clock , I see , the bed-hour of our virtuous village . Miss Mullett , I shall pray for your forgiveness . Miss Eve , I trust you to say a good word for me . If the storm clears , do you hang a white handkerchief from the window there and I , going by , will see it and be comforted . ''
