twelve o'clock
Jock , however , had passed beyond this stage , and no longer told Lucy , or any one , stories from his reading ; and other sensations had begun to stir in him which he could not put into words . In this way it was a constant admiration to him to hear MTutor , who could always , he thought , say the right thing and never was at a loss . But this evening he was dissatisfied . They were returning from the theatre by a late train , and nothing but Jock 's reputation and high character as a boy of boys , high up in everything intellectual , and without reproach in any way , besides the devoted friendship which subsisted between himself and his tutor , could have justified Mr. Derwentwater in permitting him in the middle of the half to go to London to the theatre , and return by the twelve o'clock train . This privilege came to him from the favour of his tutor , and yet for the first time his tutor did not seem the superhuman being he had always previously appeared to Jock . But Mr. Derwentwater was quite unsuspicious of this . `` There is something very much out of the way in the young lady altogether , '' he said .
