about eight o'clock
Depositing his little bundle and the copy of `` The Wayfarer '' in the valise provided for him , they walked to the store . The porter wheeled the trunk down to the railroad station , though Bobby insisted upon doing it himself . The bookseller saw him and his baggage safely aboard of the cars , gave him a ticket , and then bade him an affectionate adieu . In a little while Bobby was flying over the rail , and at about eight o'clock , reached B -- . The station master kindly permitted him to deposit his trunk in the baggage room , and to leave it there for the remainder of the week . Taking a dozen of the books from the trunk , and placing them in his valise , he sallied out upon his mission . It must be confessed that his heart was filled with a tumult of emotions .
