eleven o'clock
Titmouse 's heart beat fast , and he felt as if he could have worshipped Gammon . As for the matter of carriages , Mr. Gammon said , that probably Mr. Titmouse would call that morning on Mr. Axle , in Long Acre , and select one to his mind -- it must of course be one with two seats -- and Mr. Gammon had pointed out several which were , he thought , eligible , and would be shown to Mr. Titmouse . That would be the carriage in which -- he presumed -- Mr. Titmouse himself would travel ; the second , Mr. Gammon had taken the liberty of already selecting . With this , Mr. Gammon -LRB- just as the new valet brought in no fewer than a dozen boxes of cigars ordered over-night by Titmouse -RRB- shook his hand and departed , saying that he should make his appearance at the Cabbage-Stalk the next morning , precisely at eleven o'clock -- about which time it was arranged they were all to start . Titmouse hardly knew how to contain himself , on being left alone . About an hour afterwards , he made his appearance at Mr. Axle 's : who , worthy and indefatigable man , carried on two businesses , one public , _ i. e. _ that of a coach-builder -- one private , _ i. e. _ that of a money-lender . He was a rich man -- a very obliging and `` accommodating '' person , by means of which latter quality he had amassed a fortune of , it was believed , a hundred thousand pounds .
