eight o'clock
Charles Stow -LRB- as his name was -RRB- , despite his disdainful indifference to things , was very careful of appearances , and made the journey independently of her though in the same train . He told her where she could get board and lodgings in the city ; and with merely a distant nod to her of a provisional kind , went off to his own quarters , and to see about the licence . On Sunday she saw him in the morning across the nave of the pro-cathedral . In the afternoon they walked together in the fields , where he told her that the licence would be ready next day , and would be available the day after , when the ceremony could be performed as early after eight o'clock as they should choose . His courtship , thus renewed after an interval of two years , was as impetuous , violent even , as it was short . The next day came and passed , and the final arrangements were made . Their agreement was to get the ceremony over as soon as they possibly could the next morning , so as to go on to Pen-zephyr at once , and reach that place in time for the boat 's departure the same day .
