eight o'clock
I wo n't read you the letter now , but to-morrow when you are strong enough you shall read it yourself . I must take it the first thing in the morning to Colonel Chambers , who will , I am sure , be very glad to hear that Julian is safe , for I know that he thinks he was shot by the man he pursued . He will be interested , too , and so will Mr. Henderson , at seeing how exactly we were right in the conclusions we arrived at . '' Mrs. Troutbeck was quite satisfied with the explanation , and was at once taken up to bed by the servant , while Frank , seeing that it was as yet but eight o'clock , put on his cap and ran to Mr. Henderson 's . The latter was at home , and received with great pleasure the news that Julian was alive . He read the letter through attentively . `` If we had seen the whole thing happen , we could not have been closer than we were in our conclusion as to how it all came about .
