ten o'clock
Will you explain to me where we can go in this steamer . '' The guide became as communicative as ever in a little while , and seemed to have forgotten the little difference which had threatened a serious rupture in our relations . He was as pleasant as though no cloud had passed between us . We discussed the up-river trip , and I made memoranda of what he said till ten o'clock , when we retired . If what he said about his obligations to Griffin Leeds was true , I could not blame him for wishing to stand by the waiter . But a fair statement of his relations , without any of the bullying he had attempted , would have accomplished his wishes better . When I turned out in the morning , I found the mate had gone ashore .
