nine o'clock
Perhaps I 'd better put the facts straight for you . ' '' ` I wish you would . ' '' ` Well , it 'll be about two months back that the Bishop came to Eucalyptus . We were most of us here in Simpson 's bar when the coach drove up at nine o'clock -- same time as it dropped you last night -- and we loafed out to have a look . There was only one passenger got down ; and he seemed of no account -- a weedy-looking youngster with a small valise -- looked like he might have come to be bartender to one of the small saloons . It was dark out there , you understand : nothing to see by but the lamps of the coach and the light of the doorway ; besides which the fellow was pretty well muffled up in a heavy coat and wraps . Anyway he did n't seem worth a second look ; so when the coach moved on we just sauntered back here , and I do n't reckon there was a man in the room knew he 'd followed us till he lifted up that reedy voice of his .
