eight o'clock
`` Clement , I 'm very stupid , but I do n't quite see how what _ you _ said applies to what _ I _ said . '' `` You said , ` How happy we were , that summer we went sketching ! ' or words to that effect . It 's just like a man 's writing about the careless happiness of childhood , when he either forgets , or refuses to advert to , the toothache , the measles , learning his letters , the heat of the night-nursery , not being allowed to sit down in the yard whilst his knickerbockers were new , going to bed at eight o'clock , and having a lie on his conscience . I have striven for more accurate habits of thought , and I remember distinctly that you cried over more than one of your sketches . '' `` I got into the ` Household Album ' with mine , however , '' said Jack ; `` and I defy an A.R.A. to have had more difficulty in securing his position . '' `` I 'm afraid your appearance in the _ Phycological Quarterly _ was better deserved , '' said Mrs. Arkwright , without removing her eye from the microscope she was using at a table just opposite to Clem 's .
