eight
at night
And that was all . -LSB- Illustration -RSB- To the budding mind of young Jack Schuyler , life was a very pleasant affair . It began each morning at six thirty ; and from then on until eight at night , there was something to fill each moment . He did n't care for school , particularly ; still , it was n't difficult enough to cause much discomfort . The natal pains of study were not by any means unbearable inasmuch as he was quick to see and to understand ; and furthermore , he was possessed of a retentive memory . In his classes he assumed a position of about eighth from the fore ; and he maintained it with but little fluctuation .
