ten o'clock
Very early in the morning Banker was in front of the Hotel Grenade . He did not loiter there ; he did not wander up and down like a vagrant , or stand about like a spy . It was part of his business to be able to be present in various places almost at the same time , and not to attract notice in any of them . It was not until after ten o'clock that he saw anything worthy of his observation , and then a carriage drove up to the front entrance , and on the seat beside the driver sat Cheditafa , erect , solemn , and respectable . Presently the negro got down and opened the door of the carriage . In a few moments a lady , a beautiful lady , handsomely dressed , came out of the hotel and entered the carriage . Then Cheditafa shut the door and got up beside the driver again .
