six o'clock
`` It is very good of you , sir , to think of that , '' said the carpenter ; `` but , begging your pardon , I 've thought of it too . Many 's the time you 've come after what I 'd ha ' called work hours to see my wife -- yes , in the middle of the night , more than once or twice ; and why should n't I do the same ? Look ye here , sir . If you 're not in a main hurry , an ' 'll give me time , I 'll do the heavy work o ' this job after six o'clock o ' the summer nights , with Sandy to help me , and I 'll charge you no more than a journeyman 's wages by the hour . And what Willie and Sandy can do by themselves -- he 's a clever boy Sandy ; but he 's a genius Willie -- what they can do by themselves , and that 's not a little , is nothing to me . And if you 'll have the goodness , when I give you the honest time , at fourpence ha ` penny an hour , just to strike that much off my bill , I 'll be more obliged to you than I am now . Only I fear I must make you pay for the material -- not a farthing more than it costs me at the saw-mills , up at the Grange , for the carriage 'll come in with other lots I _ must _ have . ''
