midnight
hear ! I see you 're bringing your Boy Scout training down to Florida with you , Larry . And I wager you never let a sun go down without having done something to make a fellow critter happier .

'' Larry asked . `` Do n't you see , '' Phil went on positively ; `` the oven could n't have more than half done its work by then ; so even if Pete had gobbled the gobbler he 'd have had to eat him partly cooked .
