one o'clock
Peak was drawing recklessly upon the few coins that remained to him ; he must leave his landlady 's claim undischarged , and send the money from home . Prudence be hanged ! If one can not taste amusement once in a twelvemonth , why live at all ? He reached his lodgings , at something after one o'clock , drenched with rain , gloriously indifferent to that and all other chances of life . Pooh ! his system had been radically wrong . He should have allowed himself recreation once a week or so ; he would have been all the better for it , body and mind .
