eight o'clock
How Castleton keeps so cool and so apparently indifferent over this matter , when he is always excited over what seem to me to be comparative nothings , I can not comprehend . Now , sir , you hunt him up again -- he will no doubt be in his office across the street . Get his consent , as I before suggested -- Castleton is always obliging when you appeal to him directly ; then take your supper , and be ready . I will be here at eight o'clock with my horse and a piano-box buggy . It will be a beautiful moonlight night , and let us not risk waiting until to-morrow . We will take with us some ice ; also wine , beef extract , and a few other things intended to sustain the poor old fellow 's vitality -- at least till his story is told . We must go prepared to remain for twenty-four hours , or even for thirty-six hours if necessary ; so have your overcoat ready , and I will find a couple of blankets in case we have to lie down .
