six o'clock
`` Game called , 2:30 ; Captain Hughie has the drop ; seizes the ball , passes it to Fusie , who rushes , passes back to Hughie , who has arrived in the vicinity of the enemy 's goal , and shoots , swift and straight , a goal . Time , 30 seconds . `` Again and again my little demons pierce the heavy , solid line of the Front defense , and score , the enemy , big and bewildered , being chiefly occupied in watching them do it . By six o'clock that evening I had them safe at the manse in a condition of dazed jubilation , quite unable to realize the magnificence of their achievement . They had driven twelve miles down , played a two hours ' game of shinny , score eight to two , and were back safe and sound , bearing with them victory and some broken shins , equally proud of both . `` There is a big supper at the manse , prepared , I believe , with the view of consolation , but transformed into a feast of triumph , the minister being enthusiastically jubilant over the achievement of his boys , his wife , if possible , even more so . The heroes feed themselves to fullness , amazing and complete , the minister holds a thanksgiving service , in which I have no doubt my little demons most earnestly join , after which they depart to shed the radiance of their glory throughout the section .
