six o’clock
There was hardly time for eating , even , and at noon he was only able to snatch a few mouthfuls . The work was not interesting , and it was a new sort of labour to Archie , so that altogether he did not get on as well as he might have wished . The cook was constantly nagging him , and telling him to hurry up , and the poor lad tried his best to please him . But somehow everything went wrong , and he was hardly surprised when the proprietor came in at six o'clock with a new man for the place . `` Come around in the morning , '' he said to Archie , `` and I 'll pay your day 's wages . '' So the boy was in the street once more , with no money , and no place to sleep . He was n't hungry , that was one thing , for he had been allowed to eat a good meal before leaving the restaurant .
