ten o'clock
Night closed in , and still there came no answer to the old man 's knock . When the sun had set the wind had risen . It threatened to be a tempestuous night . Toward ten o'clock Parson Christian arrived . He had wrestled long with his own heart as to what course it was his duty to take . He had come at last in answer to the banksman 's summons , and now he knocked at the door . There was no answer .
