nine o'clock
`` Yes , master . '' `` Now listen -- we have no time to lose . Hide there , behind that monument . Before nine o'clock to-night you will see me cross the churchyard , as far as this place , with the man you are to wait for . He is going to spend an hour with the vicar , at the house yonder . I shall stop short here , and say to him , ` You ca n't miss your way in the dark now -- I will go back . ' When I am far enough away from him , I shall blow a call on my whistle .
