twelve o'clock
Knapp and I were waiting for them there , and , taking them by surprise , succeeded in capturing them before the highwaymen could use their pistols . The constable and two men are looking after them , but as one has not got over a knock I gave him on the head , and the other has a broken arm , there is little fear of their making their escape . You had better go up with two of your men , and take a light cart with you with some straw in the bottom , and bring them all down here . I will ride round myself to Mr. Chetwynde , Sir Charles Harris , and Mr. Merchison , and we will sit at twelve o'clock . You can send round a constable with the usual letters to the others , but those three will be quite enough for the preliminary examination . '' `` Well , Squire , that is good news indeed . We have had the coach held up so often within five miles of this place during the past three months , that we have been getting quite a bad name .
