three o’clock in the afternoon
Now his days of poverty were surely over , and he would have a clear path ahead of him to accomplish his great ambition to be a successful author and writer of books . For the present , it was good experience for him to be working upon the Enterprise , and he felt that he ought to be very much contented , since there were men old enough to be his father who were not earning as much money . He liked the work upon the evening paper very much . He did n't have to get down early in the morning , and at three o'clock in the afternoon he was always through . He was very glad indeed that there was no night work , for he now spent his evenings in studying shorthand , which he thought might be helpful to him in many ways . He did n't have much routine work to do upon the paper in the beginning , but he told Mr. Jennings that he would like to get as much experience as possible , so the good editor gave him a lot of regular reporting to do , as well as the special work which was daily featured in the paper . This special work consisted of interviews with various successful men .
