eleven o'clock
As a consequence , Peter was driven from the ranks . The last thing I saw that night , as we filed , bareheaded and solemn , into the newly married couple 's house , was Kitty McQueen 's vigorous arm , in a dishevelled sleeve , pounding a pair of urchins who had got between her and a muddy ha ` penny . That night there was revelry and boisterous mirth -LRB- or what the Auld Lichts took for such -RRB- in Tibbie 's kitchen . At eleven o'clock Davit Lunan cracked a joke . Davie Haggart , in reply to Bell Dundas ' request , gave a song of distinctly secular tendencies . The bride -LRB- who had carefully taken off her wedding-gown on getting home and donned a wrapper -RRB- coquettishly let the bridegroom 's father hold her hand . In Auld Licht circles , when one of the company was offered whiskey and refused it , the others , as if pained even at the offer , pushed it from them as a thing abhorred .
