eleven o'clock
`` Well , sir , '' said Mr. Peters , slowly and deliberately , `` it 's about that there lease o ' mine . I do hope you gentlemen will see your way to makin ' it twenty-one year instead o ' fourteen . '' `` God bless the man ! '' cried the Canon , jumping up indignantly , `` you do n't mean to say you 've come to me at eleven o'clock on a Sunday night to talk about your lease ? '' `` Well , not entirely , sir , '' answered Peters , unabashed ; `` there 's another little thing I wished to speak to you about , and that 's this '' -- saying which , he laid the Bishop 's bag before the Canon and told his story . The Canon looked at Mr. Peters , and Mr. Peters looked at the Canon . `` There must be some mistake , '' said the Canon .
