midnight
`` Sure ; them New York fellers was both out . I oughter waited till they come in , maybe , but I was plum ' tired out . '' `` When did they come back ? '' `` Oh , ` bout midnight , I reckon . Bill Lacy an ' Matt Moore was along with 'em . They did n't disturb me none ; just went inter the sample-room , an ' slept on the floor . I found 'em thar in the mornin ' , and Bill told me how they come to be thar -- leastwise ` bout himself , fer Moore had got up an ' gone afore I got down . ''
