six in the evening
At two o'clock in the afternoon your husband goes to the townhall to attend to his business . At the selfsame hour , the old lady has her afternoon nap . She has need of it , poor thing . In the afternoon the shop is closed , and not opened again till six in the evening ; for no one sends for meat in the afternoon , and meanwhile the apprentices are busy at the drawbridge . But behind the gate is a side door , through which the meat is carried up into the shop , to be cured and salted ; through that door I can creep in unobserved . Even the dogs do n't bark at me . Be there in the afternoon when it strikes two !
