6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., during March and April and September and
October from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and in November and December from 7
p.m. to 10 p.m. As in the period from May to August inclusive the day
working hours were from 5 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., there then was no night
labour.

DILIGENT PEOPLE AND OTHERS [XI]. The adults of the village were
classified as follows: Diligent people, men 294, women 260; average
workers, men 270, women 236; other people, men 242, women 191. One
supposes that, in considering the women's activities, all that was
estimated was the number of hours spent in agricultural work or in
remunerative employment in the evening.

concerned three typical peasant proprietors, A, B and C, living in the
