morning an
hour before noon
I will give you letters to some friends of mine in Lancashire and Yorkshire ; in either county you can remain unnoticed , and make what preparations you think necessary . But do nothing in haste -- consult well , and be guided by them , who will , if it is considered advisable and prudent , join with you in your project . I need say no more . Call upon me to-morrow morning an hour before noon , and I will have letters ready for you . '' Edward rose to depart , and thanked Mr Langton for his kindness . `` Farewell , Master Armitage , '' said Langton ; `` to-morrow at the hour of eleven ! '' Edward then quitted the house , and delivered the other letters of credence , the only one of importance at the moment was the one of credit ; the others were to various members of the Parliament , desiring them to know Master Armitage as a confidential friend of the Intendant , and in case of need to exert their good offices in his behalf .
