Twenty minutes past two
Edwin tells the tempter that he wears no jewellery but his watch and chain , which were his father 's ; and his shirt-pin . ` That I was aware of , ' is the jeweller 's reply , ` for Mr. Jasper dropped in for a watch-glass the other day , and , in fact , I showed these articles to him , remarking that if he _ should _ wish to make a present to a gentleman relative , on any particular occasion -- But he said with a smile that he had an inventory in his mind of all the jewellery his gentleman relative ever wore ; namely , his watch and chain , and his shirt-pin . ' Still -LRB- the jeweller considers -RRB- that might not apply to all times , though applying to the present time . ` Twenty minutes past two , Mr. Drood , I set your watch at . Let me recommend you not to let it run down , sir . ' Edwin takes his watch , puts it on , and goes out , thinking : ` Dear old Jack ! If I were to make an extra crease in my neckcloth , he would think it worth noticing ! '
