about 12 o’clock
it was so dark on the porch that he could n't see the buzzing mosquitoes though he blew a number of beans about , and one hit Uncle Wiggily Longears on the nose , just as the old gentleman rabbit was hopping over to play checkers with Grandpa Croaker . But Uncle Wiggily forgave Bawly , as it was an accident , and as there was a little ice cream left , the old gentleman rabbit and Grandpa Croaker ate it up . Well , something happened that night when they had all gone to bed . Along about 12 o'clock , when it was all still and quiet , and when the little mice were just coming out to play hide and seek and look for some crackers and cheese , Bawly No-Tail felt some one pulling him out of bed . `` Here ! Hold on ! Do n't do that , Bully ! ''
