ten o’clock
The Irishman did not flinch before the pistol . He said with low fierceness , `` At ten o'clock , or now , or any time , or at any place , y 'll find me ready to break the back of the lies y 've spoken , or be broken meself . Lucy Rives is my wife , and she 's true and straight as the sun in the sky . I 'll be here at ten o'clock , and as ye say , Pierre , one of us makes the long reckoning for this . '' And he opened the door and went out . The half-breed moved to the bar , and , throwing down a handful of silver , said : `` It is good we drink after so much heat . Come on , come on , comrades .
