Out of morning vs. of a morning
Let me ask you one expression.
In the underlined part of the below sentence,
"I reached to get a fresh necktie [out of morning]"
"I reached out to get a fresh necktie [of a morning]"
Which one of the above analysis is better?
And can you tell me the meaning of the "out of morning" or "of a morning"?
And, if you can, can you show me another example sentence?
Whatever of these two expressions is possible, it's very new to me-I mean I haven't seen anything like this before.
I still remember that I had a bunch of neckties hanging on the walls; and when I reached out of a morning to get a fresh necktie, the cockroaches scattered in all directions.

Well, 'out of morning' makes no sense to me at all. The structure 'of a morning' (= in the mornings / every morning) is very antiquated. That's why you haven't seen them.
In your sentence, 'reached out' is a verb + adverb and 'of a morning' = every morning.
