five o'clock
On the steamer he fell in with another Member of Parliament , this time a Nationalist , who had travelled third class in the train , and only emerged into good society at Holyhead . He , getting nearer to the truth than his enemy , thought the judge was an English tourist , and explained the good intentions of the Congested Districts Board at some length . The judge found him amusing too , and sat up talking to him in the smoking-room . In the morning he introduced his two acquaintances to each other at five o'clock , just as the steamer reached Kingstown pier . He was delighted with the result . They both looked round them cautiously , and satisfied themselves that there was no one on the pier who knew them . Then they fell into an animated conversation , and found each other so agreeable that they travelled together in a second-class carriage to Dublin , the Nationalist paying ninepence extra for the privilege , the Unionist sacrificing the advantages conferred by his first-class ticket .
