midnight
`` Come , Leopold ; it is after seven o'clock , '' said Mr. Bennington , in the rather sad and gloomy tones which the misery of his financial trials had imposed upon him . `` Seven o'clock ! '' exclaimed Leopold , leaping from the bed . `` I did n't go to sleep till after midnight , and that 's the reason I did n't wake up . '' `` You need n't get up if you do n't feel able to do so , '' added the landlord . `` O , I 'm able enough , '' protested Leopold , half dressed by this time . `` I should like to have you go down and see if you can get some fish for dinner , '' added his father .
