In a morning
Is it correct to say that when 'morning/afternoon/night/evening' are preceded by an adjective, only ON is correct and IN is wrong? If yes, why did Bradbury say this?
-He searched his pockets, the money was there, and in his other pocket he found the usual Seashell upon which the city was talking to itself in the cold black morning.
-He searched his pockets, the money was there, and in his other pocket he found the usual Seashell upon which the city was talking to itself in the cold black morning.
