two in
the morning
`` I hope you English showed more pity to your wounded friends in the Crimea , '' quoth Stangrave , laughing , `` I wanted to stop and pick him up : but Mr. Armsworth would not hear of it . '' `` Oh , sir , if it had been a stranger like you , half the field would have been round you in a minute : but Smith do n't count -- he breaks his neck on purpose three days a week : -- by the by , Doctor , got a good story of him for you . Suspected his keepers last month . Slips out of bed at two in the morning ; into his own covers , and blazes away for an hour . Nobody comes . Home to bed , and tries the same thing next night . Not a soul comes near him .
