two in the
morning
In this flattering manner we were received as we proceeded to seat ourselves in our accustomed place at the table . `` They seem as cheerful and merry as ever , '' said Jack , solemnly , to me , looking round him . `` I say , Jones , '' cried Horncastle , in an audible voice to a friend , `` wonderful how Batchelor turns up here now the other 's come home ! Got to stop going out every night now , and coming home drunk at two in the morning , eh ? Going to behave now , eh ? But he does go it , do n't he , when his keeper 's back 's turned , eh ? '' All this , ridiculous as it was , was not very pleasant for me .
