eight in the morning
I should advise you to make straight south so as to strike the road from Casale two miles west of Turin . I do not like letting you go , lad , and yet I feel it is of such importance that the garrison should know that aid will be at hand before long , that I feel I ought not to prevent you from carrying out your enterprise . When do you think of starting ? '' `` At eight in the morning , sir . If we do so we shall easily reach Chivasso before dark , and may be near Turin by morning . '' `` I will have my note for the commandant ready by the time your horses are at the door . I will make it as small as possible , and you had better before you start sew it up in the lining of your coat , so that if you are searched -- which I own I do not think to be likely , unless in some other way you excite the suspicions of the Spaniards -- it may not be found upon you .
