ten o'clock
I 've forgotten everything in listening to you , and have allowed you to talk all this time instead of sending you straight off to your bunk , as I ought to have done , and you with a broken arm , too . But I am delighted to have heard all that you have told me -- the gazette tells one nothing -- and I can afford you the satisfaction of knowing that your name has attracted attention in the right quarter ; Sir James has spoken to me about you on more than one occasion ; and your promotion is certain . If you go on as you have begun , Ralph , I predict that you will mount the ratlines rapidly . Now , we will breakfast at ten o'clock , if that will suit you , and then I will go with you myself to the Admiralty with the despatches . My gout ? Pooh ! I 'll lay a crown it will be gone by the time I turn out in the morning ; and if it is not , it is not bad enough to keep me at anchor here when I can perhaps do you a good turn .
