ten o’clock
He never grew in the least stout , so that , as he sank from his erect , assertive bearing , his physique seemed to contract along with his pride and moral strength . But now he realised how hard it was for his wife to drag about at her work , and , his sympathy quickened by penitence , hastened forward with his help . He came straight home from the pit , and stayed in at evening till Friday , and then he could not remain at home . But he was back again by ten o'clock , almost quite sober . He always made his own breakfast . Being a man who rose early and had plenty of time he did not , as some miners do , drag his wife out of bed at six o'clock . At five , sometimes earlier , he woke , got straight out of bed , and went downstairs .
