About eleven o'clock
`` Ah ! '' exclaimed Draper , arousing with sudden excitement , `` the circumstances were very singular and suspicious . I had gone over to Eastwich for the day to do some shopping . About eleven o'clock in the forenoon I was making some purchases in a shop when I noticed two men looking in the window , or rather pretending to do so , whilst they conversed earnestly . They were smartly dressed , in a horsy fashion , and looked like well-to-do farmers , as they might very naturally have been since it was market-day . But it seemed to me that their faces were familiar to me . I looked at them more attentively , and then it suddenly dawned upon me , most unpleasantly , that they resembled Leach and Jezzard .
