It's restful sitting in Tom's cosy den, talking quietly and sipping
a glass of his Madeira.

I was there one Sunday and we had the usual business of his clock.
When the radio gave the time at the hour, the Ormolu antique was
exactly 3 minutes slow.

"It loses 7 minutes every hour", my old friend told me, as he had done
so many times before.  "No more and no less, but I've gotten used to
it that way."

When I spent a second evening with him later that same month, I remarked
on the fact that the clock was dead right by radio time at the hour.
It was rather late in the evening, but Tom assured me that his treasure
had not been adjusted nor fixed since my last visit.

What day of the week was the second visit?
