about four o'clock
If only everyone would do the same as the tall man -- who had just paid for another round of drinks -- things would be a lot more comfortable than they was . ` Last summer I was workin ' for ole Buncer , ' said a little man with a cutaway coat several sizes too large for him . ` I was workin ' for ole Buncer , over at Windley , an ' you all knows as ' e do n't arf lower it . Well , one day , when I knowed ' e was on the drunk , I ` ad to first coat a room out -- white ; so thinks I to meself , `` If I buck up I shall be able to get this lot done by about four o'clock , an ' then I can clear orf ` ome . ` Cos I reckoned as ` e 'd be about flattened out by that time , an ' you know ' e ai n't got no foreman . So I tears into it an ' gets this ` ere room done about a quarter past four , an ' I 'd just got me things put away for the night w ` en ` oo should come fallin ' up the bloody stairs but ole Buncer , drunk as a howl ! An ' no sooner ' e gits inter the room than ' e starts yappin ' an ' rampin ' . ''
