seven o'clock in the evening
`` Well , we 'll take it in turns , '' ses Ginger . `` You one day , and then me , and then Peter . '' Sam gave way at last , as arter all he could see it was the safest thing to do , but he ` ad so much to say about it that they got fair sick of the sound of ` is voice . They ` ad to go ` ome for ` im to put the belt on ; and then at seven o'clock in the evening , arter Sam had ` ad two or three pints , they had to go ` ome agin , ` cos he was complaining of tight-lacing . Ginger had it on next day and he went ` ome five times . The other two went with ` im in case he lost ` imself , and stood there making nasty remarks while he messed ` imself up with a penn ` orth of cold cream . It was a cheap belt , and pore Ginger said that , when they ` ad done with it , it would come in handy for sand-paper .
