twelve o’clock
Tom himself looked rather sad , but not sullen , and his face brightened wonderfully at first sight of Kenelm . That oddity made himself as pleasant and as much like other people as he could in conversing with the old widower and the old maid , and took leave , engaging Tom to be at his inn at half past twelve , and spend the day with him and the minstrel . He then returned to the Golden Lamb , and waited there for his first visitant ; the minstrel . That votary of the muse arrived punctually at twelve o'clock . His countenance was less cheerful and sunny than usual . Kenelm made no allusion to the scene he had witnessed , nor did his visitor seem to suspect that Kenelm had witnessed it or been the utterer of that warning voice . KENELM .
