eight
o'clock
So we had supper , fried mush and eggs and milk . Then we had prayers ; and grandma put us in the west room up-stairs where there was a picture of Alfaratta , the Indian maid . And I think we would be sleepin ' yet if she had n't come in to wake us . We rode in with Willie Wallace and got to the school yard before eight o'clock . Mitch and I agreed that this was the longest school day we ever spent . School interfered a good deal with huntin ' treasure , but things happened now and then to let us out . The professor looked exactly like Tom Sawyer 's teacher , except ours wore a beard .
