o’clock
Since his father 's death Fisher had become a boarder at Dr. Middleton 's , but his frequent visits to his Aunt Barbara afforded him opportunities of going into the town . The carpenter , De Grey 's friend , was discarded by Archer , for having said `` _ lack-a-daisy _ ! '' when he saw that the old theatre was pulled down . A new carpenter and paper hanger , recommended by Fisher , were appointed to attend , with their tools , for orders , at two o'clock . Archer , impatient to show his ingenuity and his generosity , gave his plan and his orders in a few minutes , in a most decided manner ; `` These things , '' he observed , `` should be done with some spirit . '' To which the carpenter readily assented , and added , that `` gentlemen of spirit never looked to the _ expense _ , but always to the _ effect _ . '' Upon this principle Mr. Chip set to work with all possible alacrity .
