two P.M.
A vow was entered into , between the colonel and myself , that we would cut them out on the following Wednesday when walking two and two . Under the desperate circumstances of the case , the active brain of the colonel , combining with his lawless pursuit -LRB- he is a pirate -RRB- , suggested an attack with fireworks . This , however , from motives of humanity , was abandoned as too expensive . Lightly armed with a paper-knife buttoned up under his jacket , and waving the dreaded black flag at the end of a cane , the colonel took command of me at two P.M. on the eventful and appointed day . He had drawn out the plan of attack on a piece of paper , which was rolled up round a hoop-stick . He showed it to me . My position and my full-length portrait -LRB- but my real ears do n't stick out horizontal -RRB- was behind a corner lamp-post , with written orders to remain there till I should see Miss Drowvey fall .
