three o'clock in the morning
Scare all our old women half to death . -- Oh -- ah -- yes -- to be sure . I do n't believe they say what the papers put in their mouths any more than that a friend of mine wrote the letter about Worcester 's and Webster 's Dictionaries , that he had to disown the other day . These newspaper fellows are half asleep when they make up their reports at two or three o'clock in the morning , and fill out the speeches to suit themselves . I do remember some things that sounded pretty bad , -- about as bad as nitro-glycerine , for that matter . But I do n't believe they ever said 'em , when they spoke their pieces , or if they said 'em I know they did n't mean 'em . Something like this , was n't it ?
