ten o'clock
`` I fully expect you to take the advice I am going to give you . Your duty is plain ; you must do all you can for this girl . But by no means receive her into your house until you have made her acquaintance . Take the ten o'clock B. & O. to-morrow morning and go to St. Andrew ; it is about four hours ' journey and on the line of the railroad . Spend several hours with the girl , and , if she is worth the trouble , bring her back with you and do all you can for her : it would be cruel and heartless to refuse her consolation if she is all this old man describes -- and you are not cruel and heartless . And if this drop of black blood is abhorrent to you , think what it must be to her . It is enough to torment a high-strung woman into insanity or suicide .
