three o'clock
Hypocrites were in existence among all people , and while thoroughly despised by them , still held their places , and do yet , as far as my knowledge and experience go . Early the morning of the next day , Matthias came over to tell us about that `` poor gal , '' as he called her . `` She wants to see you , Miss Emily , and they say she wants to talk to me too . Mis ' Goodwin said `` pears like you 'd better come over thar ` bout three o'clock to-day , if you can . ' She 's right peart , an ' by ` nuther mornin ' , ` spect she 'll call loud for me . '' `` Do you think you know her , Matthias ? '' `` Ca n't say I do , Miss , but seems queer enough , she ` sists on callin ' of me ` Peter ' -- um -- gim me sich a feelin ' when she spoke dat word , '' and Matthias looked as if his heart was turning back to his old home , and its never-to-be-forgotten scenes .
