about two o’clock
But I hope to see once more before I die the young man whom we all loved so dearly when a baby-boy . * * * * * The Night Bell . My night-bell was pulled very hastily , it was about two o'clock , the night was bright , it was autumn , and , as I hastened to see who wanted me in such a hurry , I saw two young girls sitting on my house-door steps : both had been running very fast , the case was urgent , and the little rest they took before the door was opened would enable them to return all the faster . I had hardly opened the door when both commenced to beg me in the most imploring manner to go at once with them to see a young woman who , as they thought , must be in great distress . I put on my outer garments , took the street and number of the house , as the party was entirely unknown to me , and then accompanied them on their way , which led us through Craig street East , past a beautiful field -- the same where Viger Garden is now . A few more crossings were passed , and we arrived at the scene where my help was wanted .
