7:30
At supper time Pa he was all shaved up and had his hair plastered over the bald spot , and he got on some clean cuffs , and said he was going to the Consistory to initiate some candidates from the country , and he might not be in till late . He did n't eat much supper , and hurried off with my umbrella . I winked at Ma but did n't say anything . At 7:30 I went down town and he was standing there by the post-office corner , in a dark place . I went by him and said , `` Hello , Pa , what are you doing there ? '' He said he was waiting for a man . I went down street and pretty soon I went up on the other corner by Chapman 's and he was standing there .
