half past eight
After consulting a time table printed in the Darbyville Record , we found we could catch a train for that city at 8.25 from Newville the next morning , and this we decided to take . Having settled this matter , we returned again to the discussion of the incidents surrounding the robbery , and what would probably be the next movements of those fighting against me . Uncle Enos grew greatly interested , and said he knew a lawyer in New York who might secure some good private detective who could take the case in hand . Finally it came half past eight , and putting on my hat , I started for Mr. Woodward 's residence . Though outwardly calm , I was considerably agitated as I walked to Darbyville . Why the merchant had sent for me I could not surmise . Of course it was on account of the robbery , but so far as I knew both of us had taken a separate stand , and neither would turn back .
