midnight
It does n't matter really , however , because Joyce is bringing it down , and you can tear the damn thing up as soon as you 've read it . `` Well , I 've seen Latimer . I wrote to him directly I got back , reminded him who I was , and told him I wanted to have a chat with him about some very special private business . He asked me to come round to his rooms in Jermyn Street last night at ten o'clock , and I was there till pretty near midnight . `` I thought I was bound to find out something , but good Lord , Neil , it came off in a way I 'd never dared hope for . Practically speaking , I 've got to the bottom of the whole business -- at least so far as Latimer 's concerned . You see he either had to explain or else tell me to go to the devil , and as he thought I was a perfectly safe sort of chap to be honest with , he decided to make a clean breast of it .
