two o'clock in the morning
The woman was in a terrible passion , and her raving curses were fearful to hear . Rodney pitied her , though she cursed him . He was indignant at his companion 's rascality , and offered to go with her and try to find him . It was two o'clock in the morning . He looked round for his hat , collar , and handkerchief ; but they were gone . The thief had taken them with him . Taking Bill 's old hat , he went out with the woman , and looked into the oyster-cellars and grog-shops , some of which they found still open ; but they could find no trace of Bill Seegor .
