half past eight
We visit appropriately enough -- a neighboring graveyard . I am by this time in a condition of mind to become a willing inmate of the place . The usual evening prayer-meeting is postponed for some reason . At half past eight I go to bed . This is the way Sunday was observed in the Nutter House , and pretty generally throughout the town , twenty years ago . -LRB- 1 -RRB- People who were prosperous and natural and happy on Saturday became the most rueful of human beings in the brief space of twelve hours . I do n't think there was any hypocrisy in this .
