nine o'clock in the evening
I vote we do n't linger here to-day -- we 'll get melancholia . '' Outside , however , the sun was shining brightly , and we departed immediately to explore Cambridge and announce our important presences to the proper authorities ... . We went into Boston to dine ... . It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that we returned and the bottom suddenly dropped out of things . He who has tasted that first , acute homesickness of college will know what I mean . It usually comes at the opening of one 's trunk . The sight of the top tray gave me a pang I shall never forget .
