twenty minutes to ten
I had risked our lives a score of times to win each one of them . And now an ill-natured churl had flung them into the draught ... . I set my teeth and put the car at a hill at eighty-five ... . We flashed through Langon at twenty minutes to ten . Thirty-five minutes left -- and thirty miles to go . We were on the main road now , and the surface was wide , if rough . What little traffic there was , left plenty of room .
