about two o’clock
asked Slivers . ` At the corner of Sturt and Lydiard Streets . ' ` Early in the morning , I suppose ? ' ` Yes -- pretty early -- about two o'clock , I think . ' ` And you never saw him after that ? ' ` Not a sight of him , ' replied Barty ; ` but , I say , why all this thusness ? ' ` I 'll tell you after you have answered my questions , ' retorted Slivers , rudely , ` but I 'm not asking out of curiosity -- its business . '
