one
o'clock
For the rest of the time you journey , if you are `` all right '' within , in elysium . I rode one of those horses perhaps two or three hours a day . At locks I made myself generally useful . At night I walked the deck till one o'clock , with my pipe or without it , to keep guard against the lock-thieves . The skipper asked me sometimes , after he found I could `` cipher , '' to disentangle some of the knots in his bills of lading for him . But all this made but a little inroad in those lovely autumn days , and for the eight days that we glided along , -- there is one blessed level which is seventy miles long , -- I spent most of my time with Fausta . We walked together on the tow-path to get our appetites for dinner and for supper .
