about one o'clock
What is the matter ? '' The person answered , `` What is that to you ? Stop the dead cart . '' This , it seems , was about one o'clock . Soon after , as the fellow said , he stopped the dead cart , and then knocked again , but nobody answered ; he continued knocking , and the bellman called out several times , `` Bring out your dead ; '' but nobody answered , till the man that drove the cart , being called to other houses , would stay no longer , and drove away . The watchman knew not what to make of all this , so he let them alone till the morning man , or `` day watchman , '' as they called him , came to relieve him . Giving him an account of the particulars , they knocked at the door a great while , but nobody answered ; and they observed that the window or casement at which the person looked out who had answered before , continued open , being up two pair of stairs .
