eleven o'clock
When , sir -- when ? '' `` When ? Why , bless your heart , man , he 's begun already -- or , at least , will do so in another hour and a half . He 's promised to meet us at your house at eleven o'clock to-night . Chose that place because he lives at Putney , and it 's nearer . Eleven was the hour he set , though , of course , he may arrive sooner ; there 's no counting on an erratic fellow like that chap . So we 'll make it eleven , and possess our souls in patience until it 's time to start . ''
