five o’clock
Then I turned and fled , and as I sped I heard him calling to me : `` Oh , come and see the skulls ; come back and see the skulls ! '' Harris , however , revels in tombs , and graves , and epitaphs , and monumental inscriptions , and the thought of not seeing Mrs. Thomas 's grave made him crazy . He said he had looked forward to seeing Mrs. Thomas 's grave from the first moment that the trip was proposed -- said he would n't have joined if it had n't been for the idea of seeing Mrs. Thomas 's tomb . I reminded him of George , and how we had to get the boat up to Shepperton by five o'clock to meet him , and then he went for George . Why was George to fool about all day , and leave us to lug this lumbering old top-heavy barge up and down the river by ourselves to meet him ? Why could n't George come and do some work ? Why could n't he have got the day off , and come down with us ?
