Six o'clock
It was a pleasant meal , but Roger and Ernest , weary beyond words , were delighted when it was finished and they could tumble into bed . Roger was wakened the next morning by the alarm clock in the dining room . Ernest jumped up at once and Roger lighted the candle . `` Six o'clock , '' he said . `` Well , our new job has begun , Ern . '' There was a great rattling of the stove lids in the kitchen , above Dick 's whistle , then through the windows a light dawning toward the corral . By the time that Roger and Ernest had shaved and were hurrying down the little trail , the red glow in the east had made the `` Bug '' unnecessary .
