eight o'clock
The advice given , perhaps , had an added effect , as at that moment a shriek arose from a woman near the door , who declared that her pocket had been picked of the money she had just drawn . The arrival of the new depositors , and the spreading through the crowd of the information that they represented several of the strongest banks in the city , quieted the apprehensions of the depositors , and a considerable number of them abandoned the idea of drawing out their money and went off . Though many of them remained , it was evident that the dangerous run had subsided . A notice was posted on the front door of the bank that the bank would remain open until eight o'clock and would be open the following morning at eight , which had something to do with allaying the excitement of the depositors . That afternoon Keith went back to the bank . Though depositors were still drawing out their money , the scene outside was very different from that which he had witnessed earlier in the day . Keith asked for Mr. Wentworth , and was shown to his room .
