midnight
`` Almost ten o'clock , Yann , and time for you to rise and have supper . And after supper -- are you sorry ? -- another journey for you . At midnight you start in the gig with Farmer Ellory , who will drive you to the coast , to a town called Fowey , where some friends of his ` in the trade ' are starting for Roscoff . In six hours you will be aboard ship again ; and in another twenty , perhaps , you will see your mother -- and your father too , if he escaped clear away . In little more than a day you will be back in Brittany . But first you must lie quite still , and I will show you something . ''
