two minutes before six
I did n't take it much to heart ; and after the first gush did not trouble my relative much with my prospects . I was , however , a little curious to know what proposal he would make about my board and lodging in the great metropolis , which , after all , was a matter of some little consequence to me . He did not see fit to relieve my anxiety on this point until the very eve of my departure from Brownstroke , when he said , abruptly , `` You will be gone before I 'm down to-morrow , Frederick . Do n't forget the train starts at two minutes before six . I have arranged for you to lodge with Mrs Nash , whose address is on this card . There will be time to take your trunk round there before you go to your work . For the present I shall pay for your lodging . ''
