eight o'clock
Soon after I got up I received a note , brought by a boy from Viking , which gave me a thrill of excitement . The note requested me to go to Sunburst . But first I sent a note to Mrs. Falchion , begging her in the name of our new friendship not to leave the mountains that day . I also asked that she would meet me in Sunburst that evening at eight o'clock , at a place indicated by me . I asked for a reply by the messenger I sent , and urged her to ask no questions , but to trust me as one who only wished to do her a great service , as I hoped her compliance would make possible . I waited for the reply , and it bore but the one word -- `` Yes . '' Greatly pleased , I started down the valley .
