a quarter to nine
She must n't go ; I ca n't allow it . But she has written me such a queer letter , and implored and besought of me not to come to see her , that I am forced to accede to her wishes . So you will have to go to her to-night and tell her that she must meet me on my way to school to-morrow . Tell her that I will go a bit of the way towards her house ; tell her that I will be at the White Cross Corner at a quarter to nine . You need n't say more . Oh , Susy , it would break my heart if Ruth did not continue to be a member of our society . '' `` I will do what you want , of course , '' said Susy .
