one o’clock
And Galloway has been away ever since eleven o'clock , we ca n't tell where . It is nobody but that evil , mischief-making Butterby , and I 'd give a crown out of my pocket to have a good duck at him in the river ! '' With regard to Mr. Galloway 's knowing nothing of the active proceedings taken against Arthur , Roland was right . Mr. Butterby had despatched a note to Mr. Galloway 's office at one o'clock , stating what he had done , and requesting him to be at the office at two , for the examination -- and the note had been lying there ever since . It was being opened now . Now -- at the exact moment that Mr. Roland Yorke was giving vent to that friendly little wish , about the river and Mr. Butterby . Mr. Galloway had met a friend in the town , and had gone with him a few miles by rail into the country , on unexpected business .
