six o'clock in the evening
His housekeeper was there and assigned our quarters for the night . Our evenings were spent playing cards or backgammon or listening to the chatter of our host by the fireside . At our last stop on the road I opened my trunk and put on my best suit of clothes . We reached Canton at six o'clock in the evening of a beautiful summer day . I went at once to call upon the Dunkelbergs and learned from a man at work in the dooryard that they had gone away for the summer . How keen was my disappointment ! I went to the tavern and got my supper and then over to Ashery Lane to see Michael Hacket and his family .
