eight o'clock
This day was far less strenuous than the day before . They spent most of it in the pool or on its bank . In the afternoon Wiggins came and did not leave them till seven . Soon after eight o'clock the Terror set out to keep his tryst with the princess . He took with him the Socialist manifesto and pinned it to the post of a wicket gate opening from the gardens into the park on the opposite side of the Grange to Deeping Knoll . Then he came round to the door in the peach-garden wall two or three minutes before the clock over the stables struck nine . He had not long to wait ; he heard the gentle footfall of the princess on the garden path , the door opened , and she came through it .
