ten in the morning
`` I mistook you for some acquaintances . '' Whereupon the others smiled in a friendly way , bowed , and said something . A few commonplaces were interchanged , and the boats drifted away out of hearing . It was not much after ten in the morning when Buttons and Dick returned . On reaching the hotel they found Mr. Figgs and the Doctor , who asked them if they had seen the Senator . To which they replied by putting the same question to their questioners . He had not been seen since they had all been together last .
