ten o’clock
And these two tides of resolution setting into one and sweeping on , became so strong and vigorous , that , to prevent themselves from being carried away before it , Heaven knows where , was as much as John Westlock and Mark Tapley together -LRB- though they were tolerably energetic too -RRB- could manage to effect . He had sent for John Westlock immediately on his arrival ; and John , under the conduct of Tom Pinch , had waited on him . Having a lively recollection of Mr Tapley , he had caused that gentleman 's attendance to be secured , through John 's means , without delay ; and thus , as we have seen , they had all repaired together to the City . But his grandson he had refused to see until to-morrow , when Mr Tapley was instructed to summon him to the Temple at ten o'clock in the forenoon . Tom he would not allow to be employed in anything , lest he should be wrongfully suspected ; but he was a party to all their proceedings , and was with them until late at night -- until after they knew of the death of Jonas ; when he went home to tell all these wonders to little Ruth , and to prepare her for accompanying him to the Temple in the morning , agreeably to Mr Chuzzlewit 's particular injunction . It was characteristic of old Martin , and his looking on to something which he had distinctly before him , that he communicated to them nothing of his intentions , beyond such hints of reprisal on Mr Pecksniff as they gathered from the game he had played in that gentleman 's house , and the brightening of his eyes whenever his name was mentioned . Even to John Westlock , in whom he was evidently disposed to place great confidence -LRB- which may indeed be said of every one of them -RRB- , he gave no explanation whatever .
