half past six
Really you must excuse me , Aunt Mary , for thinking that your good husband has a little too much upon his mind sometimes . '' The old lady laughed , as I loved to see her do . `` Well , my dear , after that , I think you had better have it out with him . He comes home to tea at 6.30 , which used to be half past six in my days . He is very tired then , though he never will allow it , and it would not be fair to attack him . I give him a mutton-chop , or two poached eggs , or some other trifle of nourishment . And then I make him doze for an hour and a half , to soothe his agitated intellect .
