ten
o'clock
You have but to follow the track over the mountains due south -- you know the stars , you , who are a cavalry officer -- until you join the Corte road at Ponte Alle Leccia , then there is but the one road to Bocognano . If you overtake your poor father , you have but to detain him until Jean comes up . You may trust Jean to bring him safely back to the yacht here as arranged . But you must be at Bastia at the Hotel Clément at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning . That is absolutely necessary . You understand -- life or death , you must be there . I and a woman , who is clever enough , are mixing a salad for some one at Bastia on Wednesday morning , and it is you who are the vinegar . ''
