a quarter past eight
But now I really must leave you . Go back to your place , pack as much luggage as you will need for a week or ten days -- for we may be away that long -- write Sir Aubrey Belston 's name on the luggage labels in a disguised handwriting ; send it to Victoria by messenger -- not by your own man , as we must take no risks whatever -- and come to me not later than six , and I will then again disguise you as Sir Aubrey Belston . You wo n't be followed by any member of the gang , for the man I am impersonating is supposed to be shadowing you . Connie Stapleton expects Alphonse Furneaux -- that 's the man who followed you last night , and whom I am now impersonating -- to meet her at Victoria at a quarter past eight to-night . You will get there a little later , and of course we must appear to be total strangers . Keep out of sight of the woman , and of Gastrell , and of anyone else you may see whom you remember seeing at Cumberland Place the other night . You can speak to anybody you like once we are on board the boat , but not before .
