ten o'clock
And I told him my plan . And after a time and quite a lot of talk , he said he would agree to it . And this morning we did it . At exactly ten o'clock he came up the steps of the house here , but he did n't ring the bell . I had told him not to do that , and I was on the watch for him . I knew that at ten o'clock Grandfather would be gone , Aunt Hattie probably downtown shopping , and Lester out with his governess . I was n't so sure of Mother , but I knew it was Saturday , and I believed I could manage somehow to keep her here with me , so that everything would be all right there .
