ten minutes past eight
`` You see , it wo n't do to be seen in this thing myself . What I want you to do is to come down with me to Stourwich and bring the old man to London ; then I can find him at my own time , in the street or anywhere , quite haphazard like . '' `` I do n't quite see how it is to be done , '' said Tillotson . `` Meet me to-morrow morning at Waterloo , at ten minutes past eight , '' said Glover , finishing his glass and rising ; `` and we will have a try , at any rate . '' He shook hands with his friend , and following him down the uncarpeted stairs , said a few words at the door in favor of early rising , and departed to his place of business to make his own arrangements about the morrow . He was at the station and in the train first in the morning , Mr. Tillotson turning up with that extreme punctuality which enables a man to catch his train before it has got up full speed . `` I was half afraid at one time that I should n't have done it , '' said Mr. Tillotson , in self-congratulation , as he fell on to the seat .
