twelve o'clock
Everybody was talking about Melmotte , the prevailing belief being that he was at this moment in custody . Dolly was full of his own griefs ; but consoled amidst them by a sense of his own importance . `` I wonder whether it 's true , '' he was saying to Lord Grasslough . `` He has an appointment to meet me and my governor at twelve o'clock to-morrow , and to pay us what he owes us . He swore yesterday that he would have the money to-morrow . But he ca n't keep his appointment , you know , if he 's in prison . '' `` You wo n't see the money , Dolly , you may swear to that , '' said Grasslough .
