eight o'clock
`` We ought to have been in the Cathedral before now ; it is nearly eight o'clock . '' `` It is true , lad . I am glad you were here to remind me ; let us be going . '' Then he added , speaking to the musical priest : `` Don Luis , your mass is at eight o'clock . You can talk with Gabriel later on ; now we must fulfil our obligations , for those who are late will , as you say , be turned out , even though our office hardly gives us enough to eat . '' The Chapel-master assented sadly with a movement of his head , and went out , following the two Cathedral servants . He seemed to go unwillingly , as though forced to a task that was to him both irksome and painful .
