two o'clock
And the little phrase spread abroad , timidly and obscurely . * * * * * * When All Saints ' Day came round , many of the distinguished visitors at the castle were still there . Every year that festival gives us occasion for an historical ceremony on the grand scale . At two o'clock all the townsfolk that matter gather with bunches of flowers on the esplanade or in front of the cemetery half-way up Chestnut Hill , for the ceremony and an open air service . Early in the afternoon I betook myself with Marie to the scene . I put on a fancy waistcoat of black and white check and my new patent leather boots , which make me look at them . It is fine weather on this Sunday of Sundays , and the bells are ringing .
