So the discussion went on , and there was not much to be got out of it . The final decision come to was this : That guard should be kept , as before , until twelve o'clock midnight ; that at that hour the three should leave the archway and , in company , visit two places -- Turner Road and the police-station -- and that the occupants of both these places should be informed of the facts . And that then all three should go to bed . -LRB- IV -RRB- At ten minutes past eleven Dick moved away from the fire in the Men 's Club , where he had just been warming himself after his vigil , and began to walk up and down .
