about 7 o'clock in the evening
Not much . No competitor of mine ever introduced me or ever shall . I prefer to introduce myself in my own time and way . We reached Rossmore about 7 o'clock in the evening . Blissam took it for granted that I was going to the Everett House , but my hotels had been fixed for me by our old traveling man , and he had instructed me to go to the Forest ; a cheaper house , but in all other respects equal to the other . I was rather glad , too , that we were not going to the same house . Be ever so sociable with a competitor , still the fact remains that he is a competitor , and his success means your failure .
