three o’clock
I must still tell you how he left us . We had a fair a few miles from here . He , `` Rudderless , '' the horse-dealer , and the woman sat in a drinking-tent , dissipating until far into the night . At three o'clock or thereabouts they were at last ready to leave . They got on the wagon , and so far everything went all right ; but then our mutual friend turns off from the main road and drives with them over fields and heath , as fast as the horses can go . The wagon is flung from one side to the other . Finally things get too wild for the horse-dealer and he yells that he wants to get down .
