about six o'clock
His baggage having been labelled for Twybridge , he himself would book as far as his money allowed , then proceed on foot for the remaining distance . With the elevenpence now in his pocket he could purchase a ticket to a little town called Dent , and by a calculation from the railway tariff he concluded that from Dent to Twybridge was some five-and-twenty miles . Well and good . At the rate of four miles an hour it would take him from half-past eleven to about six o'clock . He could certainly reach home in time for supper . At Dent station , ashamed to ask -LRB- like a tramp -RRB- the way to so remote a place as Twybridge , he jotted down a list of intervening railway stoppages , and thus was enabled to support the semblance of one who strolls on for his pleasure . A small handbag he was obliged to carry , and the clouded sky made his umbrella a requisite .
