ten o'clock
The whole apartment was sadly in need of it scrubbing , but the lads concluded to postpone that until some future date . `` I can bring in cot beds and bedding , '' the caretaker announced , `` and string the electric wire for heating , lighting , and cooking before I go to bed . That will leave you all shipshape in the morning , and you can then begin your cleaning up as soon as you please . '' The caretaker was as good as his word , and before ten o'clock the cots and bedding were in place , also an electric heater and an electric plate for cooking had been moved into the apartment . Not considering it advisable to go out for supper , Canfield had also brought in provisions in the shape of bacon , potatoes , eggs , bread , butter , coffee , and various grades of canned goods , so the boys had made a hearty meal and had plenty left for breakfast . While cooking they had covered the one window with a heavy piece of canvas . `` Now you 're all , tight and snug for the night , '' the caretaker smiled , as he turned back from the door and glanced over the rather cozy-looking room .
