eight o'clock
The master of the house having returned to collect the rent , on hearing of Olenin 's wealth and generosity invited him to his hut . The old woman received him kindly , and from the day of the party onwards Olenin often went in of an evening and sat with them till late at night . He seemed to be living in the village just as he used to , but within him everything had changed . He spent his days in the forest , and towards eight o'clock , when it began to grow dusk , he would go to see his hosts , alone or with Daddy Eroshka . They grew so used to him that they were surprised when he stayed away . He paid well for his wine and was a quiet fellow . Vanyusha would bring him his tea and he would sit down in a corner near the oven .
