twelve
o'clock
You see , I went up there to make a little stay of a fortnight . I got there at night , and they seemed glad to see me , but they did n't give me a bit of anything to drink . Well , thinks I to myself , the jig 's up : I sha 'n' t get any more liquor till I get out of the state . '' We all sat up till twelve o'clock that night , and I heard nothing but talk about the ` Juvinal Temperence Army , ' the ` Band of Hope , ' the ` Rising Generation , ' the ` Female Dorcas Temperance Society , ' ` The None Such , ' and I do n't know how many other names they did n't have . As I had taken several pretty large ` Cock Tails ' before I entered the state , I thought upon the whole that I would not spite for the want of liquor . The next morning , I commenced writing back to my friends , and telling them what 's what . Aunt Polly said , ` Well , Johnny , I s ` pose you are given 'em a pretty account of us all here . '
