six to
nine in the evening
Husband and wife met at dinner in the evening . It really was a true marriage , the union of two souls ; it was , of course , also the union of two bodies , but this is a point one does not discuss . One day the wife came home and told her husband that her office hours had been changed . The directors had decided to run a new night train to Malmo , and in future she would have to be at her office from six to nine in the evening . It was a nuisance , for he could not come home before six . That was quite impossible . Henceforth they had to dine separately and meet only at night .
