six o'clock
One never can think , my good Esora , whither idle men will be wandering , and the risk is great . Having gone so far we must have courage , Esora answered . Now give me the key , and I 'll lock myself in with him ; we 'll take it in turns , and the day will not be as long passing as you think for . It is now six o'clock , he answered : twelve hours will have to pass away before the men start for Jericho . And then the night will be before us , replied Esora . I had n't thought of the night , Joseph answered , and she reminded him that it might be days before his friend , who had been scourged , could recover sufficiently for him to leave . For he wo n't always remain here , she added .
