ten o'clock
`` We are told we shall be satisfied , Margot . '' `` I 'm sure I hope sae ! Come now , and we will hae a gude dinner and eat it cheerfully . '' After dinner there was a pleasant evening during which fishers and fishers ' wives came in , and chatted of the sea , and the boats , and the herring fishing just at hand ; but at ten o'clock the big Bible , bound round with brass , covered with green baize , and undivested of the Books of the Apocrypha , was laid before the master . As he was trying to find the place he wanted , Margot stepped behind him , and looked over his shoulder : `` Gudeman , '' she said softly , `` you needna be harmering through thae chapters o ' proper names , in the Book o ' Chronicles . The trouble is overganging the profit . Read us one o ' King David 's psalms or canticles , then we 'll go to our sleep wi ' a song in our hearts . ''
