about 10 p.m.
Such are the ironies of life for the tenants of basement flats . Besides the shoe-dropping , I am often kept awake at night by the sound of angry voices . I sadly fear that Mr and Mrs 19 do not live together in the peace and harmony which could be desired . Subjects of dissension seem generally to arise about 10 p.m. , and thereafter deep masculine growls and shrill feminine yaps alternate until the small hours . On these occasions I make up my mind never , never to marry . Especially a bad-tempered man . Especially _ one _ bad-tempered man !
