three o'clock
Let me present my friend , Mr. Burke . He escaped from Gheria ; you 've heard that Colonel Clive captured the place ? '' `` Yes ; we had despatches from Admiral Watson some days ago . I had heard of Mr. Burke 's adventures -- `` Your servant , sir ; I am delighted to meet you -- `` Well , Merriman , three o'clock ; I will not detain you now ; you 'll want to get home . '' Mr. Merriman 's bearers were at hand with his palanquin ; he got into it ; the men set off at a swinging pace , warning the bystanders with their cry of `` Tok ! Tok ! '' and Desmond walked by the side of the chair , amused to watch the self-important airs of the peon who went in front .
