the two hours from
eleven to one
I thought nothing of this , being content with the rector 's explanation that my uncle had a task for Philip in the morning , now that Mr. Carvel was better . And I was well content to be rid of Philip 's company . But as the days passed I began to mark an absence still stranger . I had my Horace and my Ovid still : but the two hours from eleven to one , which he was wont to give up to history and what he was pleased to call instruction in loyalty , were filled with other matter . Not a word now of politics from Mr. Allen . Not even a comment from him concerning the spirited doings of our Assembly , with which the town was ringing . That body had met but a while before , primed to act on the circular drawn up by Mr. Adams of Massachusetts .
