ten o'clock at night
`` In my dread I confided in Diana -- '' `` And she -- went with you , '' said I hoarsely , `` in -- Danby 's chaise ! '' `` Yes . When Sir Geoffrey saw Diana she seemed to fascinate him -- he refused to give up my letters -- said he could not part with them . In this way he tortured me for weeks until at last he wrote from Raydon Manor , saying I should have the letters if I would call for them in person , but it must be at ten o'clock at night -- and Diana must go with me . So we went -- there were other men there -- they had been drinking . When we entered the room , Captain Danby locked the door -- I nearly swooned with horror -- '' `` Ah , my God ! '' exclaimed Anthony .
