two after three
`` Hm . More fool you , then ! '' There was no more conversation . Mr. Brent walked briskly and it was but a minute or two after three when they reached the field . It was evident that they had got there none too soon , for the big gates halfway along the board fence were open and a wagon with a plow in it was drawn partly through it . That it was not all the way through was due to the fact that the audience , or a good part of it , had gathered at the point of attack and was doing its best to repel the contractor 's men . Shouts and jeers and laughter came from the scene .
