About ten o'clock
Father had never seen him before , but he knew he had the name of being half silly , and question him as much as he liked , he could make nothing of him . The daughter said that they had gone to bed at dark the night her father was robbed . She slept up stairs , and he down below . About ten o'clock she heard him scream , and running down stairs , she found him sitting up in bed , and the window wide open . He said a man had sprung in upon him , stuffed the bedclothes into his mouth , and dragging his box from under the bed , had made off with it . She ran to the door and looked out , but there was no one to be seen . It was dark , and snowing a little , so no traces of footsteps were to be perceived in the morning .
