One o'clock
The Judge , at random , summoned up a good one , to the delight of the audience . `` Judge , '' said Mr. Lincoln , with solemnity , `` I reckon that 's what you 'd have said . Sam ' l never said a word , and the old man kept on eating his dinner . One o'clock came , and the folks began to drop in again , but Sam ` l , he sat there . ` Long towards night the boys collected ` round the door . They were getting kind of interested . Sam ` l , he never looked up . ''
