o'clock
`` I 'm told it 's an active sort of life . You 're fast asleep , and I was just now , when you were preaching . We 'd better go to bed . Nine o'clock for breakfast , I suppose ? '' Mr. Dove 's Opinion Mr. Thomas Dove , familiarly known among club-men , attorneys ' clerks , and , perhaps , even among judges when very far from their seats of judgment , as Turtle Dove , was a counsel learned in the law . He was a counsel so learned in the law , that there was no question within the limits of an attorney 's capability of putting to him , that he could not answer with the aid of his books . And when he had once given an opinion , all Westminster could not move him from it , -- nor could Chancery Lane and Lincoln 's Inn and the Temple added to Westminster .
