about six o'clock
We could dine early , could n't we ? '' So it was arranged . My father went about some business in the morning . We dined early , and set out about six o'clock . My father was getting an old man , and if any protection had been required , he could not have been half so active as Roger ; and yet I felt twice as safe with him . I am satisfied that the deepest sense of safety , even in respect of physical dangers , can spring only from moral causes ; neither do you half so much fear evil happening to you , as fear evil happening which ought not to happen to you . I believe what made me so courageous was the undeveloped fore-feeling , that , if any evil should overtake me in my father 's company , I should not care ; it would be all right then , anyhow .
