four o'clock
`` You know there were some of the managers of the road , the superintendents and all those big ones , came to Birch Plains yesterday ? '' `` I did be hearing something , '' said Johnny , wondering . `` There was a quiet-spoken , nice old gentleman came asking me at the door for something to eat , and I being there baking ; ' t is my time in the morning whin the early trains does be gone , and I 've a fine stretch till the expresses are beginnin ' to screech , -- the tin , and the tin-thirty-two , and the Flying Aigle . I was in a great hurry with word of an excursion coming in the afternoon and me stock very low ; I 'd been baking since four o'clock . He 'd no coat on him , ' t was very warm ; and I thought ' t was some tramp . Lucky for me I looked again and I said , ` What are you wanting , sir ? ' and then I saw he 'd a beautiful shirt on him , and was very quiet and pleasant . ''
