o'clock
I was affable to him , but distant ; and when he offered me everything that was in his shop , I told him I would take time and consider it . He sent a servant following behind me with the goods , and so I came once more to the `` Pig and Turnip , '' where I ordered Paddy and Jem to go to the Temple and fetch away the swords . There seemed to be a pleased surprise on the face of the landlord when I called for my bill and paid it without question , chiding him for his delay in not sending it before . I engaged a horse for Father Donovan to ride on the following morning , and ordered breakfast ready at six o'clock , although I gave my commands that I was to be wakened an hour before daylight . I spent the rest of the day in my room with Paddy and Jem , trying to knock into their heads some little notion of geography , wishing to make certain that they would sooner or later arrive in Rye without stumbling in on Belfast while on the way . My own knowledge of the face of the country was but meagre , so the landlord brought in a rough map of the south of England , and I cautioned the lads to get across London Bridge and make for the town of Maidstone , from where they could go due south , and if they happened on the coast they were to inquire for Rye and stay there until further orders . Jem Bottles , who thought he had brains in his head , said he would not be so open in telling every one we were going to Rye if he was me , because he was sure the Earl had people on the look-out , and money was plenty with his lordship .
