ten o'clock
Be sure to come , you will give us real pleasure , my precious friend . I got your letter yesterday , I read it and was perplexed . You looked for me , goodness knows where , and I was simply at home . Till ten o'clock I was expecting Ivan Ivanitch Tolokonov . At once on getting your letter I set out with my wife , I went to the expense of taking a cab , and reached your house about half-past six . You were not at home , but we were met by your wife . I waited to see you till half-past ten , I could not stay later .
