nine o'clock
Well , Bunny got upset , and is so ashamed of himself that he is angry with everybody else . He will be all right by dinner-time if he is left alone . '' The day following the Burtington match was a very peaceful one , but the evening brought with it a disturbance which was altogether unexpected . I was engaged at nine o'clock to read an essay to Mr. Edwardes , and I had been so energetic that I had written it two days before , which made me feel virtuous . The subject of the essay was `` Impressions of Roman Society as gathered from Cicero 's Letters , '' and I had taken more than ordinary trouble over it , for it was the sort of question which I could not answer without definite knowledge . I went to Murray 's rooms after dinner , and I remember telling him that I believed I had written something which would persuade my tutor that I had at least made an attempt to satisfy him . And Murray , who was always trying to keep me out of rows and giving me help when I was in them , read a little of it , and said that it was ever so much longer than the one he had written .
