ten o'clock on Monday
If you will promise to let me off this time , I will take my oath I will never save another person from drowning again , the longest day I ever live . ' '' ` Come down , ' said he , ` when I tell you , I am goin ' to reward you . ' '' ` Thank you , ' sais I , ` I have been rewarded already more than I deserve . ' `` Well , to make a long story short , we concluded a treaty of peace , and down I went , and there was Colonel Snell , who said he had drove over to beg my pardon for the wrong he had done to me , and said he , ` Sam , come to me at ten o'clock on Monday , and I will put you in a way to make your fortune , as a recompense for saving my child 's life . ' `` Well , I kept the appointment , tho ' I was awful skared about old Rose kissin of me again ; and sais he , ` Sam , I want to show you my establishment for making wooden clocks . One o ' them can be manufactured for two dollars , scale of prices then . Come to me for three months , and I will teach you the trade , only you mus n't carry it on in Connecticut to undermine me . '
