nine o'clock
We would see Madeleine passing with a teapot and two cups . She was red in the face and very busy . When the summer was over , M. le Curé came to see us after dinner and spent the evenings with us . When nine o'clock struck he used to go , and Sister Marie-Aimée always went with him down the passage to the big front door . He had been with us for a year , and I could never get used to making confession to him . He often used to look at me and laugh in a way that made me think that he remembered my faults . We went to confession on fixed days .
