eight o'clock
Of all criticisms , the one he most dreads is , `` I told you so . '' And so , on this Christmas morning , I had a series of mild , pleasant shocks , that made the bright , crisp , frosty , sunny morning all the more pleasant . It was a slight , because expected , surprise to see Captain Campion at the altar rails . He appeared at eight o'clock Mass. . Thanks be to God ! I manage still to use the sublime privilege given by the Church that morning , of being allowed to celebrate three times . I have not omitted it for fifty years .
