four o'clock
How much have you got ? '' `` About ten baskets full , '' Archie replied , `` of some hundred pounds each . '' `` I will go with you to the castle , '' the soldier said . `` The governor will lower the drawbridge for no man , but you can speak with the warder across the moat and he will bear your message to the governor , and should he agree , you must present yourself with your men with the fish at four o'clock , at which time the drawbridge will be lowered for us to return to the castle . '' Archie accompanied the soldier to the end of the drawbridge , and parleyed with the warder . The latter acquainted the governor that the master of the fishing boat which had been driven in by stress of weather would fain dispose of his cargo of fish on cheap terms , and returned for answer that the governor would give sixpence for each basket of a hundred pounds . Archie grumbled that he should receive thrice that sum at Montrose ; still that as he must sell them or let them spoil , he accepted the offer , and would be there with the fish at four o'clock .
