about two
o'clock in the morning
Now , just suppose we waits till the night afore the meeting ; that 'll be the twenty-second -- there 'll be no moon then . Thomas wo n't be in the night-shift that week . I know he sleeps sound , for I 've heard their Betty say as it were the only thing as kept 'em up , that they slept both on 'em so well . Suppose , then , as we gets a goodish-sized furze bush or two , and goes round to the back about two o'clock in the morning . We must have a rope or two ; then we must take off our clogs , and climb up by the water-butt . The one as goes up first must have a dark lantern . Well , then , we must creep quietly in , and just lap a rope loosely round the bed till we 're all ready .
