five o’clock
I will abide the consequences . ' The locksmith , really disturbed and agitated , paced to and fro in silence -- glancing at his former ` prentice every now and then -- and at length stopping before him , said : ` Get to bed , and sleep for a couple of hours that you may wake penitent , and with some of your senses about you . Be sorry for what you have done , and we will try to save you . If I call him by five o'clock , ' said Varden , turning hurriedly to his wife , and he washes himself clean and changes his dress , he may get to the Tower Stairs , and away by the Gravesend tide-boat , before any search is made for him . From there he can easily get on to Canterbury , where your cousin will give him work till this storm has blown over . I am not sure that I do right in screening him from the punishment he deserves , but he has lived in this house , man and boy , for a dozen years , and I should be sorry if for this one day 's work he made a miserable end . Lock the front-door , Miggs , and show no light towards the street when you go upstairs .
