ten o'clock
Meantime Tom had sat with his brows knit together , as if intently thinking ; and when at last he spoke he said to his father : ` I shall go to Springfield on the ten o'clock train , and you 'd better go with me . ' To this Frank made no objections . If his wife 's diamonds were really found , he ought to be there to receive them ; and , besides , he might say a word in Harold 's defence , if necessary . So ten o'clock found him and Tom at the station , where also was Dick St. Claire , with several other young men , pacing up and down the platform and excitedly discussing the news , of which they did not believe a word . ` I almost feel as if they were hurting me when they touch Hal , he 's such a noble fellow , ' Dick said to Mr. Tracy and Tom . ` We are all as mad as can be , and so a lot of us fellows , who have always known him , are going over to speak a good word for him , and go his bail if necessary . I do n't believe , though , they can do anything after all these years ; but father will know .
