nine o’clock
Do not give yourself the trouble to tell falsehoods , madame , '' he resumed , `` In the first place , let me tell you that I mean no harm either to you or to your lodger who is suffering from cautery , or to your daughter Ida , a stay-maker , the friend of Ferragus . You see , I know all your affairs . Do not be uneasy ; I am not a detective policeman , nor do I desire anything that can hurt your conscience . A young lady will come here to-morrow-morning at half-past nine o'clock , to talk with this lover of your daughter . I want to be where I can see all and hear all , without being seen or heard by them . If you will furnish me with the means of doing so , I will reward that service with the gift of two thousand francs and a yearly stipend of six hundred . My notary shall prepare a deed before you this evening , and I will give him the money to hold ; he will pay the two thousand to you to-morrow after the conference at which I desire to be present , as you will then have given proofs of your good faith .
