about midnight
you do n't mean to say that you have found a nugget of that size ! '' `` That 's just what we 've done , '' answered Obed . `` When did you find it ? '' `` Well , we took it from the mine about midnight . We found it in the afternoon , but calculated we 'd better take possession when there was n't so many lookin ' on . I say , Mr. Commissioner , I do n't think it would agree with me to be a rich man . I got broken of my rest last night , from havin ' the nugget in the cabin . ''
