two o'clock
I moped for months over Gale Beacon , and made him and Matthew and father completely unhappy , lost ten pounds , and was sent to a rest-cure for temper . The next morning after Adam gave me the cow and calf and passionate embraces out in the orchard I began to work like six women , and what I did to Elmnest not ten women could have accomplished in as many days . I weeded the whole garden and I picked three bushels of our first peas , tied up sixty bunches of very young beets with long , tough orchard grass , treated fifty bunches of slender onions the same way , half a dozen of each to the bunch , and helped Bud Corn-tassel load a two-horse wagon with them and everything eatable he could get out of Aunt Mary 's garden . Then I got up at two o'clock in the night and fed the mules so Bud could start at half-past two in order to be in the market at Hayesville long before the break of day , so as to sell the truck at the very top of the market to the earliest greengrocers . I gave Bud coffee and bread and butter and drove the team down to the gate while he went ahead to open it . I stood up while I drove , too , because Bud had not had room to put a seat in for himself and expected to stand up all the way to town . Talk about Mordkin and Pavlova !
