six o'clock
The landlord and servants came out with lanterns to help the passengers to alight , and the former , as Ralph climbed down the side into the circle of light , asked : `` Are you Master Conway ? '' `` That 's my name , '' Ralph replied . `` A bed has been taken for you , sir , and a trap will be over here at nine o'clock in the morning to take you to Penfold Hall . '' Supper was already prepared for such passengers as were going to sleep in the hotel ; but Ralph was too sleepy to want to eat , and had made a good meal when the coach stopped at six o'clock for twenty minutes to allow the passengers time for refreshments . At eight o'clock next morning he breakfasted . When he had finished the waiter told him that the trap had arrived a few minutes before , and that the horse had been taken out to have a feed , but would be ready to start by nine . Ralph took a stroll for half an hour by the sea and then returned .
