ten o'clock
Look here , Sybilla , I ai n't a cowardly feller , you know , in the main ; but , by George ! it ai n't pleasant to be horsewhipped by an outrageous young baronet or kicked from the gates by his under-strappers . '' `` There is no danger . Sir Everard is not at home , and will not be before ten o'clock at least . He is gone to dine at The Grange with his mother ; and my lady was to have gone , too , but your message frightened her , and she told him little white lies , and insisted on his going by himself . And , you silly old stupid , if you had two ideas in your head , you would see that this opportunity of braving his express command , and entering the lion 's den to meet his wife by night and by stealth , is the most glorious opportunity of revenge you could have . Sir Everard is nearly mad with jealousy and suspicion already .
