noon
As the ship was to sail from Sendennis -- that being Captain Amber 's native place -- he promised Lancelot that he would seek me out , and see if I pleased him , and if the plan pleased me . And I , on fire with the thought of getting away from Sendennis and feeling the width of the world -- all I wanted to know was how soon we might be starting . ` A fortnight is our longest delay , ' the Captain said ; ` we sail sooner if we can . Report yourself to me to-morrow morning between eleven and noon . You will find me at the Noble Rose . You know where that is , I suppose ? ' Now , as the Noble Rose was the first inn in Sendennis , and one that the town was proud of , I naturally knew of its whereabouts , though I was not so well acquainted with it as with a certain other and more ill-favoured hostelry that shall be nameless .
