nine o'clock
There 's no room for anither dizzen in yer auld kailyaird onyway -- an ' that I 'm tellin ' ye . An ' I 'm promised the new job too . Ye can howk yer ain graves yersel 's . '' `` Fash na yer heid , Saunders , aboot them , '' said the old betheral at the door ; `` it 's me that 's to be grave-digger , but ye shall howk them a ' the same in the mornin ' , an ' get the siller , for I 'm far ower frail -- ye can hae them a ' by afore nine o'clock , an ' the minister disna pu ' up his bedroom blind till ten ! '' Thus it was that Saunders Mowdiewort ended his connection with an Erastian establishment , and became a true and complete member of the Marrow kirk . His mother also attended with exemplary diligence , but she was much troubled with a toothache on the days of catechising , and never quite conquered her unruly member to the last . But this did not trouble herself much -- only her neighbours .
