ten o'clock
Mr. Chiffinch was not within , for he had not expected me so early , a servant told me ; but he had looked for my coming about eleven or twelve o'clock , and had given orders that I was to be taken to a closet to change my clothes if I needed it . This I did ; and then was set down to break my fast ; and while I was at it , Mr. Chiffinch himself came in . He told me that I had done very well to come so swiftly ; but he smiled a little as he said it . `` His Majesty is closeted with one or two more until ten o'clock . I will send to let him know you are come . '' I did not ask him for what business I had been sent for ; since he did not choose to tell me himself ; and he went out again . But he was presently back once more ; and told me that His Majesty would see me at once .
