@teruterubouzu16sora I think you mean “They* will call upon you tonight*, at a quarter to eight o’ clock.” This means that someone will call you at 7:45. 😊

@teruterubouzu16sora "a quarter to right o' clock" = 7:45 because it will be 8 in 15 minutes. 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour.
"there will. upon you tonight" <--(maybe a word is missing or typo),
=they will request that you to come to them.
