eleven o’clock on the sixth of January
I asked Waterloo if he had given his mind to the possibility of this particular customer going down the water-stairs at three o'clock some morning , and never coming up again ? He did n't think that of him , he replied . In fact , it was Waterloo 's opinion , founded on his observation of that file , that he know 'd a trick worth two of it . ` There 's another queer old customer , ' said Waterloo , ` comes over , as punctual as the almanack , at eleven o'clock on the sixth of January , at eleven o'clock on the fifth of April , at eleven o'clock on the sixth of July , at eleven o'clock on the tenth of October . Drives a shaggy little , rough pony , in a sort of a rattle-trap arm-chair sort of a thing . White hair he has , and white whiskers , and muffles himself up with all manner of shawls . He comes back again the same afternoon , and we never see more of him for three months .
