five o'clock Sunday
afternoon
And the men , including Roger , took a ducking and returned to work steaming but unspeakably rejuvenated . The sudden appearance of the water seemed to Roger like a happy omen for the whole endeavor and it would have been difficult to tell who was the most enthusiastic for the rest of the day , Roger or Dick . Rabbit Tail 's week was a full seven days . At five o'clock Sunday afternoon , the absorber was finished . The old tool shed stood remade , roughly to be sure , but securely , into an engine house . The condenser was half finished , the engine was standing in its new home , dismantled in parts but quite ready for Roger to adjust when the new parts should arrive . When the old iron triangle called supper , Rabbit Tail sauntered up to Roger .
