eleven
o'clock
This was true , when , having left his baggage at the Junction , he drove another mile into the country to see the farmer of the gentleman who had his summer-house here , and who had once bantered Bartley to sell him his colt . The farmer was away , and would not be at home till the up-train from Boston was in . Bartley looked at his watch , and saw that to wait would lose him the six o'clock down-train . There would be no other till eleven o'clock . But it was worth while : the gentleman had said , `` When you want the money for that colt , bring him over any time ; my farmer will have it ready for you . '' He waited for the up-train ; but when the farmer arrived , he was full of all sorts of scruples and reluctances . He said he should not like to buy it till he had heard from Mr. Farnham ; he ended by offering Bartley eighty dollars for the colt on his own account ; he did not want the cutter .
