nine
o'clock
This scrap of newspaper bears yesterday 's date , with the words , ` Evening edition . ' Also , you will see here , pasted to the paper , a bit of one of those yellow wrappers in which the subscribers ' copies are sent out . These copies are always delivered by the nine o'clock post . Therefore , it was after nine o'clock . I said , a well-dressed man . Please observe that this tiny piece of glass has the round hole of a single eyeglass at one of the edges and that the single eyeglass is an essentially aristocratic article of wear . This well-dressed man walked into a pastry-cook 's shop .
