 Henry replied, "Nine days ago,means the present day minus 9 days.

the day before yesterday ,means 2 more day should be minused.

so all together 11 days to be subtracted from the present day.

That day happen to be "three weeks before the second day of term"

so add 3 weeks that is 21 days.so we get 10 days from the present day they spoke.

They spoke on Sunday.So 10 day form Sunday will fall on Tuesday.
