ten o'clock
The purchase of the farm by the sea had better not be delayed ; Jack might have to go down and see the owner . Yes , he would make it his first business in the morning . Perhaps it would be best to get some Long-Islander to buy it for them . By the time it was ten o'clock , Jack said he thought he would step down to the Union a moment . Edith 's countenance fell . There might be letters , he explained , and he had a little matter of business ; he would n't be late . It was very agreeable , home was , and Edith was charming .
