nearly ten o'clock
As the ` coddy ' was a sensible man he took the beer and advised them to pull themselves together and try to get some work done before Misery came , which they promised to do . When the ` coddy ' was gone they made another attempt at the work . Misery came a little while afterwards and began shouting at them because he said he could not see what they had done . It looked as if they had been asleep all the morning : Here it was nearly ten o'clock , and as far as he could see , they had done Nothing ! When he was gone they drank the rest of the beer and then they began to feel inclined to laugh . What did they care for Hunter or Rushton either ? To hell with both of 'em !
