about eleven o'clock
` So if YOU say anything about it , ' concluded Newman , ` do n't bring my name into it . ' Barrington was constrained to admit that all things considered it was right for Newman to mind his own business . He felt that it would not be fair to urge him or anyone else to do or say anything that would injure themselves . Misery came to the house about eleven o'clock and informed several of the hands that as work was very slack they would get their back day at pay time . He said that the firm had tendered for one or two jobs , so they could call round about Wednesday and perhaps he might then be able to give some of them another start , Barrington was not one of those who were ` stood off ' , although he had expected to be on account of the speech he had made at the Beano , and everyone said that he would have got the push sure enough if it had not been for the accident . Before he went away , Nimrod instructed Owen and Crass to go to the yard at once : they would there find Payne the carpenter , who was making Philpot 's coffin , which would be ready for Crass to varnish by the time they got there . Misery told Owen that he had left the coffin plate and the instructions with Payne and added that he was not to take too much time over the writing , because it was a very cheap job .
