six o'clock
`` Will yer please tell me yer name ? '' `` Richard Dare . '' `` I 'll remember it , Mr. Dare ; ye 're the first gentleman ever noticed _ me _ , and I 'm much obliged , even if you had n't given me a cent . '' `` I shall expect to see you at six o'clock or a few minutes later , '' was Richard 's reply , and fearful of being late at the store he hurried off . The street urchin stood still , gazing after him . There were tears in the light blue eyes , and a choking sensation in the thin little throat . `` He must be one of them missionaries I once heard tell of , '' was Pep 's thought .
