` You may depend upon my coming , ' said the stranger . ` What time does Mr Gwynne dine ? I suppose I shall escape his dinner hour ? It is now about five o'clock . ' ` Oh ! they do n't dine till Christian folks are going to bed -- seven or eight o'clock , or some such heathen hour . You 'll be able to see them all before dinner ; but I do n't believe Mr Gwynne 'll let you come away . '
