seven o'clock in the evening
Then I was pleased with the two pieces of twenty . My uneasiness at receiving money from anybody except my parents , who alone were entitled to make me presents , was only equalled by my pleasure at the possession of my first earnings , the knowledge that I was at last capable of earning something , that at last the tree of life was bearing fruit , which I might reach and pluck for myself . I accepted the work and its reward . Every second day , punctually at seven o'clock in the evening , Lorand would come to me , give me the matter to be copied , ` matter written , as I recognized , in his own hand writing , ' and next day in the morning would come for the manuscript . I wrote by night , when Henrik was already asleep : but , had he been awake , he could not have known what I was writing , for it was in Magyar . And what was in these secret writings ? The journal of the House of Parliament .
