four o'clock
The man as ocht Jerusalem greets because the Fair Circassian winna take him . He is biding a ' night wi ' Blinder . He likes a dram in his tea . '' Elspeth 's money lasted till four o'clock . For Aaron , almost the only man in Thrums who shunned the revels that day , she bought a gingerbread house ; and the miraculous powder which must be taken on a sixpence was to make Blinder see again , but unfortunately he forgot about putting it on the sixpence . And of course there was something for a certain boy . Grizel had completed her purchases by five o'clock , when Tommy was still heavy with threepence halfpenny .
