six
o'clock
I found that I should soon be able to do most of my work mechanically , and think about what I pleased in the mean time . So I hoped to be able to study at home and recite my lessons to myself in the mill . The only thing that troubled me was that I could not take Nat to and from school , and he had to be left alone sometimes . But I found a very pleasant and faithful Irish boy , who was glad to earn a little money by drawing him back and forth , often staying with him after school till I came home at six o'clock . This boy was the son of the Irish gardener on the overseer 's place . The overseer was an Englishman ; his name was Wilkins . He is the only human being I ever disliked so that it was hard to speak to him .
