noon
I was amazed afterwards at my own foresight , for there was very little evidence of what was intended ; and yet there had come upon me , as in an illumination , that the time for which we had waited so long was arrived at last . I do not see how I could have guessed more than I did ; neither do I now see how I guessed so much . My letter to Mr. Chiffinch was not long . It ran as follows : `` Rumbald hath been to see me ; and bids me be with him , if I can , by noon to-day at the _ Mitre _ , without Aldgate . I know no more than that ; but I am making ready to go down with him to the Rye at Hoddesdon , if he should want me there . I think that something is intended , if we are right in our conjectures . I shall have my man at the inn in Hoddesdon .
