Ten o'clock
`` If you please , sir , Mr. Ashton has just sent round to ask if you could make it convenient to be in at ten o'clock this evening , as he wants to see you particularly . '' Micky looked surprised ; Ashton had been very particularly engaged for that evening , he knew . Evidently something had happened to upset his plans as well . `` Ten o'clock ? All right ; I dare say I shall be in . '' He went on down the stairs . Out on the path he paused and looked up and down the street .
