seven
o'clock
The district is theatrical ; the inhabitants , the bubbling froth of half a dozen nations . The atmosphere is Bohemian , the language polyglot , the locality precarious . In the court at the rear of the alley lived the candy man . At seven o'clock he pushed his cart into the narrow entrance , rested it upon the irregular stone slats and sat upon one of the handles to cool himself . There was a great draught of cool wind through the alley . There was a window above the spot where he always stopped his pushcart . In the cool of the afternoon , Mlle. Adèle , drawing card of the Aërial Roof Garden , sat at the window and took the air .
