four o'clock in the morning
A boy ca n't have any fun these days without everybody thinks he is a heathen . What hurt did it do to play comet ? It 's a mean father that wont stand a little scorchin ' in the interests of science . '' The boy went out , scratching the place where his eye winkers were , and then the grocery man knew what it was that caused the fire engines to be out around at four o'clock in the morning , looking for a fire . `` What has your Pa got his jaw tied up for , and what makes his right eye so black and blue , '' asked the grocery man of the bad boy , as the boy came to bring some butter back that was strong enough to work on the street . `` You have n't hurt your poor old Pa , have you ? '' `` O , his jaw is all right now .
