six in the morning
`` Ay , that I have , the loveliest little boy you ever saw . When you are as you used to be , you will be his doctor , wo n't you ? '' `` Yes , I will nurse him , and you will help me find the past . '' Phoebe then begged Staines to be ready to start at six in the morning . She and Dick would take him up on their way . While she was talking to him the doctor slipped out , and to tell the truth he went to consult with another authority , whether he should take this opportunity of telling Staines that he had money and jewels at the bank : he himself was half inclined to do so ; but the other , who had not seen Phoebe 's face , advised him to do nothing of the kind . `` They are always short of money , these colonial farmers , '' said he ; `` she would get every shilling out of him .
