text_original: The great thing was to gain time. The deputation came back to say that Prince Charles must have a distinct answer to his summons be  fore two o'clock in the morning, and it was now ten at night. Still spurred by the hope of gaining time, and allowing Cope to arrive, if, indeed, he were arriving, the deputation was sent back again.
