six o'clock in the evening
`` Both beautiful and opulent . A sultana , sir ! '' `` Then , gentlemen , '' said Burr , rising with glass in hand , `` let us do ourselves the honor of drinking the health of Madam Blennerhassett . '' When , at six o'clock in the evening , the travellers went down to the boat , not a soul did they find on board . Seven o'clock came , but no Captain Pierce , no minion of his . Burr made inquiry of the agent , the tavern-keeper and others , without obtaining information concerning any of the missing men . Much incensed , he and Arlington were compelled to lodge another night in the best bedchamber of the Green Tree .
