twelve o'clock
There is somebody knocking at the door ; go and see who it is . '' Paul went to the door , and the visitor proved to be Captain Littleton . `` I was looking for you , Paul , '' said he . `` I 'm going to give a dinner party to-morrow , and I want a mess of perch , fresh from the rocks , by twelve o'clock . I want you should go down and catch them for me . You always have good luck at fishing . Will you do this for me , Paul ? ''
