twelve o'clock
Miss Tilney , to whom all the commonly frequented environs were familiar , spoke of them in terms which made her all eagerness to know them too ; and on her openly fearing that she might find nobody to go with her , it was proposed by the brother and sister that they should join in a walk , some morning or other . `` I shall like it , '' she cried , `` beyond anything in the world ; and do not let us put it off -- let us go tomorrow . '' This was readily agreed to , with only a proviso of Miss Tilney 's , that it did not rain , which Catherine was sure it would not . At twelve o'clock , they were to call for her in Pulteney Street ; and `` Remember -- twelve o'clock , '' was her parting speech to her new friend . Of her other , her older , her more established friend , Isabella , of whose fidelity and worth she had enjoyed a fortnight 's experience , she scarcely saw anything during the evening . Yet , though longing to make her acquainted with her happiness , she cheerfully submitted to the wish of Mr. Allen , which took them rather early away , and her spirits danced within her , as she danced in her chair all the way home . The morrow brought a very sober-looking morning , the sun making only a few efforts to appear , and Catherine augured from it everything most favourable to her wishes .
