eight o'clock
We have been at Newmarket together . '' I bowed to my lord , and he to me . `` Well -- the horses , '' said Monmouth . `` At eight o'clock , if you please . '' I said nothing to Tom , for I was very uncertain what to do ; and though I was mad with anger at what I had heard the Duke say as I waited at the door -- -LRB- though now I can not say that there was any great harm in the words themselves -RRB- -- I still kept my wits enough to know that I was too angry to judge fairly . I lay awake a long time that night , turning from side to side after that I had heard the wet clothes of our guests carried downstairs to be dried by morning before the fire . It was all a mighty innocent matter , so far as it had gone ; but I would not see that .
