six in
the evening
Our story will not yet see daylight . A few days after Christmas , Aaron sat in the open shed at the bottom of his own garden , looking out on the rainy darkness . No one knew he was there . It was some time after six in the evening . From where he sat , he looked straight up the garden to the house . The blind was not drawn in the middle kitchen , he could see the figures of his wife and one child . There was a light also in the upstairs window .
