morning
about six o'clock
`` I live in the hotel , and Emmy lives in a flat . She could n't very well stay in the Hôtel Godet , because it is n't a nice place for ladies . There 's a dog in the courtyard that howls . I tried to throw him some cold ham the other morning about six o'clock to stop him ; but it hit a sort of dustman , who ate it and looked up for more . It was very good ham , and I was going to have it for supper . '' `` But , my dear man , '' said Sypher , laying his hand on his friend 's shoulder , and paying no heed to the dog , ham , and dustman story , `` are n't you two living together ? '' `` Oh , dear , not '' said Septimus , in alarm , and then , catching at the first explanation -- `` you see , our hours are different . ''
