About two o’clock

'' `` I thought so , '' said Bessie . `` About two o'clock I waked up with a start , and while it may have been a sort of waking dream , I was almost certain I heard a rustling sound out in the hall , and immediately after a creaking on the stairs , as though there was somebody there . '' `` Well , why on earth did n't you wake me , Bess ? '' returned Thaddeus . `` I could easily have decided the matter by getting up and investigating . ''
