Ten o'clock
`` We will have family prayer in about ten minutes , '' said Mr. Wade , as he handed him a razor and a shaving-box . In ten minutes the man appeared and behaved himself with due propriety at family worship . After breakfast he thanked the farmer and his wife for their hospitality , and departing , went on his journey . Ten o'clock came , and Mr. N -- had not yet arrived . So Mr. and Mrs. Wade started off for the meeting house , not doubting that they would find him there . But they were disappointed . A goodly number of people were inside the meeting house , and a goodly number outside , but the minister had not yet arrived .
