About nine in the morning
Like King Henry Fifth of England , Cleggett found a certain pleasure in watching while his troops slumbered . Cleggett and this lively monarch had other points in common , although Cleggett , even in his youth , would never have associated with a character so habitually dissolute as Sir John Falstaff . The construction of the trench was not without its effect upon the gang of villains at Morris 's . About nine in the morning Cleggett noticed that he was under observation from the roof of the east verandah of the road house . Loge and two of his ruffianly lieutenants were scrutinizing the Cleggett flotilla and fortifications through their binoculars . Cleggett , through his own glass , returned the compliment . The three men were conducting an animated discussion .
