Name for Gabriel Syme in a 1908 GK Chesterton novel (8)

I believe the answer is:

thursday

(Other definitions for thursday that I've seen before include "This day's child has far to go" , "Rash duty (anag)" , "several hours" , "72 hours or so ago" , "Shut yard (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
