twelve o'clock
`` Is there anything particular , Colonel , in which I can assist you now ? '' `` Not now . I was anxious to hear the character of those fellows from you who know them . Come down about eleven or twelve o'clock ; these petitioners will be assembled , and you may be able to assist me . '' `` Colonel , remember I forewarn you , that you are plunging into a mesh of difficulties , which you will never be able to disentangle . Leave the fellows to me , sir ; I know how to deal with them . Besides , upon my honor , you are not equal to it , in point of health .
