nine o'clock, an hour ago
That looked queer . It was mighty important business . We was after one of the biggest hauls we 'd ever pulled off . I waited till nine o'clock , an hour ago , and I was getting nervous . Then I started over here to find out what was the matter . When I got here I asked Moriarty if he 'd seen Metzer . Moriarty said he had n't since I was here before .
