six in the evening
To the west a broad bridle-path joins the road to Fawlness . Majendie had a small yacht moored in the creek , near where the path breaks off to Three Elms Farm . Once , sometimes twice , a week , Majendie came to Three Elms Farm . Sometimes he came for the week-end , more often for a single night , arriving at six in the evening , and leaving very early the next day . In winter he took the train to Hesson , tramped seven miles across country , and reached the farm by the Fawlness road . In summer the yacht brought him from `` Hannay & Majendie 's '' dock to Fawlness creek . At Three Elms Farm he found Maggie waiting for him .
