eight o'clock
`` Very well , '' said Don Ramon ; `` you must do as you please , both in that and the other matter , for I see that you have already made up your mind in both cases . I am glad that you came straight to me with your news , although it is of such a dreadful character : for , now that we have Alvaros ' statements that our poor , unhappy friends are in La Jacoba , and that they are to leave for Fernando Po on Sunday , I shall know how and where to prosecute my enquiries ; and it is very essential that we should assure ourselves of the truth of both statements , otherwise your attempt at rescue may miss fire , after all . Now , I suppose you will fight that villain to-morrow morning at daybreak . If so , do me the favour of coming here to early breakfast with me at eight o'clock ; you can then tell me what has happened , and I , for my part , shall by that time be in a position to tell you definitely how much of Alvaros ' story is true . '' `` Certainly , '' answered Jack ; `` I will come with pleasure . And meanwhile I suppose I ought to be getting back to the yacht , to be ready to receive de Albareda . So , good-bye !
