nine o'clock
The child had no clothing but an old suit of his elder brother , and it was cold winter weather . But James made no remark , until he had the boy in the train for Edinburgh . Then he comforted him with all the kind words he could say , and after a good supper , they both went early to bed in a small Edinburgh hostelry . In the morning , soon after nine o'clock , James took his grandson to a ready-made tailor 's shop , and there he clothed him from head to feet in a blue cloth suit . From the little white shirt to the little blue cloth cap on his long fair hair , everything was fit and good , and the child looked as if he had been touched by a miracle . He was now a beautiful boy , spiritually frail and fair , almost angelic . Ruleson looked at him , then he looked at the pile of ragged clothes that had fallen from his little shrunken form , and he kicked them with his big feet to the other end of the shop .
