two o'clock on
Thursday
Jethro inquired . `` I 'm going down on Thursday . '' `` B-better come in and see me , '' said Jethro . `` Very well , '' answered Mr. Worthington ; `` I 'll be in at two o'clock on Thursday . '' And then , without another word to either of them , he swung on his heel and strode quickly out of the store . Jethro did not move . William Wetherell 's hand was trembling so that he could not write , and he could not trust his voice to speak .
