twelve o'clock
Every association he belonged to made him treasurer without hesitation . He stood AA1 in coloured circles . He was understood among them to be Mr. Bushrod Weymouth , of the Weymouth Bank . The night following the day on which Mr. Robert mentioned his intended fishing-trip the old man woke up and rose from his bed at twelve o'clock , declaring he must go down to the bank and fetch the pass-book of the Sons and Daughters , which he had forgotten to bring home . The bookkeeper had balanced it for him that day , put the cancelled checks in it , and snapped two elastic bands around it . He put but one band around other pass-books . Aunt Malindy objected to the mission at so late an hour , denouncing it as foolish and unnecessary , but Uncle Bushrod was not to be deflected from duty .
