1 And good evening to you, friend Jim.
2 "Good evening, Dance," says the doctor with a nod.
3 All through the evening they kept thundering away.
4 I saw I must lose no time if I were to find the boat that evening.
5 The captain made us trim the boat, and we got her to lie a little more evenly.
6 Bare-headed as we were, we ran out at once in the gathering evening and the frosty fog.
7 But as things fell out, my poor father died quite suddenly that evening, which put all other matters on one side.
8 No, she said, he had come home in the afternoon but had gone up to the hall to dine and pass the evening with the squire.
9 Soon after, Dr. Livesey's horse came to the door and he rode away, but the captain held his peace that evening, and for many evenings to come.

11 The cold evening breeze, of which I have spoken, whistled through every chink of the rude building and sprinkled the floor with a continual rain of fine sand.
12 All day he hung round the cove or upon the cliffs with a brass telescope; all evening he sat in a corner of the parlour next the fire and drank rum and water very strong.
13 Day after day this work went on; by every evening a fortune had been stowed aboard, but there was another fortune waiting for the morrow; and all this time we heard nothing of the three surviving mutineers.
14 The evening breeze had sprung up, and though it was well warded off by the hill with the two peaks upon the east, the cordage had begun to sing a little softly to itself and the idle sails to rattle to and fro.
15 I was to go down the sandy spit that divides the anchorage on the east from the open sea, find the white rock I had observed last evening, and ascertain whether it was there or not that Ben Gunn had hidden his boat, a thing quite worth doing, as I still believe.
