ten o'clock in the
evening
I asked him for an interview . He was to meet me on the road that went through his wood , between his house and ours . I dropped the letter into his own letter-box on the road . You can imagine what a state I was in when I tell you that I had appointed ten o'clock in the evening , as I thought that then it would be dark ! I had not noticed that it was still light at that time , so far north had we come . The result was that I did not dare to go out until eleven , and then I was sure there would be no one to meet . But there he was !
