nine o'clock
Captain Lumley shook hands with Mr. and Mrs. Campbell , bowed to the rest of the cabin party , and quitted the ship . As he went over the side , he observed to Alfred , `` I perceive you have some attractions in your party . It is quite melancholy to think that those pretty cousins of yours should be buried in the woods of Canada . To-morrow , at nine o'clock , then , I shall expect you . -- Adieu ! '' Although the idea of Alfred leaving them during the passage out was not pleasant , Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were most happy at the chance which had offered itself for their son 's advantage , and seemed in good spirits when he took leave of them on the following morning . `` Captain Wilson , you sail so well , that I hope you will keep close to us all the passage out , '' observed Alfred , as he was taking leave .
