one hour after noon
`` Well , well , I can not stop to talk to you now , for I am on my way to the Tower on business . I am only over from Holland for a day or two with despatches from the Earl to Her Majesty 's Council , and am lodging at Westminster in a house that faces the abbey . It is one of my cousin Edward 's houses , and you will see the Vere cognizance over the door . Call there at one hour after noon , and I will have a talk with you ; but do not buoy yourselves up with hopes as to your going with me . '' So saying , with a friendly nod of his head Francis Vere continued his way eastward . `` What think you , Allen ? '' he asked his comrade as they went along .
