four o'clock
I went ashore as soon as a boat could be dropped into the water , and hastened to the house of the Colonel . Owen said he was very glad to see me ; and from the excitement of his manner , I judged that something was in the wind . `` To-morrow will be Saturday , '' said he , walking up and down the parlor where I had seated myself . `` The same party we had to-day , including the Silver Cornet Band , will make a little run up the river , and stop for a while at Mrs. Mitchell 's place , if it is practicable , with a dinner at four o'clock . '' `` It is not practicable -- '' `` It is not practicable ! '' exclaimed Owen , stopping in front of me . `` You did not hear me out , my dear charterer of the Sylvania , '' I replied , amused at the sudden check put upon his enthusiasm .
