nine o'clock
`` I shall be glad of your company , Herbert . I hardly feel the strength or enterprise to travel alone , even for so trifling a trip as going to Boston . '' `` At what hour will you go , Mr. Melville ? '' `` I will take the second train , at nine o'clock . It will afford me time enough , and save my getting up before my usual time . '' Herbert would have preferred going by the first train , starting at half-past seven , as it would have given him a longer day in the city , but of course he felt that his employer had decided wisely . `` It will be quite a treat to me , going to Boston , '' he said .
