five o'clock
`` Gang oot o ' my back kitchen wi ' yer nonsense ! '' she said . Andra passaged like a strongly bitted charger to the back door , and there ran away with himself , flourishing in the air a pair of very dirty heels . Ebie Farrish was employed over a tin basin at the stable door , making his breakfast toilet , which he always undertook , not when he shook himself out of bed in the stable loft at five o'clock , but before he went in to devour Jess with his eyes and his porridge in the ordinary way . It was at this point that Andra Kissock , that prancing Galloway barb , breaking away from all restrictions , charged between Ebie 's legs , and overset him into his own horse-trough . The yellow soap was in Ebie 's eyes , and before he got it out the small boy was far enough away . The most irritating thing was that from the back kitchen came peal on peal of laughter .
