ten o'clock
` Why , ' he sez , ` I 've been wide awake all the time , listenin ' to the dog whinin ' and scratchin ' at the door , and I was too tired to get up and let him in . Open the door quick ; I 'm fair sick on it . ' I sez , ` What nonsense you 're talkin ' ! Why , Boxer 's been lyin ' under the table ever since you come home at ten o'clock . He 's there now . ' So he looks under the table , and there sure enough were Boxer fast asleep . ` Well , ' he sez , ` it must be another dog .
