ten o’clock
`` Have n't I got You ? '' They passed the day together quietly at the cottage . Amelius took down some of his books , and pleased Sally by giving her his first lessons . Soon after ten o'clock she withdrew , at the usual early hour , to her room . In her absence , he sent for Toff , intending to warn him not to be alarmed if he heard footsteps in the garden , after they had all gone to bed . The old servant had barely entered the library , when he was called away by the bell at the outer gate . Amelius , looking into the hall , discovered Morcross , and signed to him eagerly to come in .
