ten o'clock
`` I ca n't say sooner than ten o'clock after what has happened . '' `` Say ten o'clock , then . This is Saturday , and I 've my sermon to prepare after breakfast . At ten o'clock I 'll join you in the churchyard . '' My grandfather went off to unlock the tool-shed , and the Parson back to comfort Mrs. Polwhele -- which was no easy matter . `` There 's something wrong with the parish since I 've been away , and that you ca n't deny , '' she declared . `` It do n't feel like home any longer , and my poor flesh is shivering like a jelly , and my hand almost too hot to make the butter .
