eight
o’clock in the morning
It was a fine sight , to behold the learned dog barking round it , and Mr. Sleary instructing him , with his one practicable eye , that Bitzer was the object of his particular attentions . Soon after dark they all three got in and started ; the learned dog -LRB- a formidable creature -RRB- already pinning Bitzer with his eye , and sticking close to the wheel on his side , that he might be ready for him in the event of his showing the slightest disposition to alight . The other three sat up at the inn all night in great suspense . At eight o'clock in the morning Mr. Sleary and the dog reappeared : both in high spirits . ` All right , Thquire ! ' said Mr. Sleary , ` your thon may be aboard-a-thip by thith time . Childerth took him off , an hour and a half after we left there latht night .
