seven a.m., Monday
Rule crossed the ferry and went , as he had been used to go , to the back door , opening on the back porch , where , four years before , Cora used to keep school for her one pupil . He rapped at the door , and Sylvan sprang up and opened it . He was warmly welcomed , and spent a pleasant evening . The rest of his vacation was spent in a way equally pleasant , and at seven a.m. , Monday , Rule was at work , type-setting in the _ Watch _ office . On the third of January following that Christmas there were three departures from Rockhold . Miss Rose Flowers went East to enter upon her new engagement . Corona Haught , in charge of her grandmother and her Uncle Clarence , went West to enter the Young Ladies ' Institute , in the capital , and Master Sylvanus Haught went North , in the care of his Uncle Fabian , to enter a boy 's school .
