We shall start from here at ten.

If all be well, I shall place you in the Tower with your father in less than a quarter-hour from that.

A few minutes will suffice to clothe him in bullet-proof and get on his belt.

I shall not be away from the Tower more than a very few minutes, and, please God, long before eleven we shall be safe.

Then the Tower can be won in an attack by our mountaineers.
