About midnight
And then a third time : `` Will ye shut up ? '' And then came a bucket of water , hurled through the cell bars . It hit Jimmie squarely in the mouth , and in the words of the poet , `` the subsequent proceedings interested him no more ! '' About midnight came Lawyer Norwood and Dr. Service . Both of these men had protested against the street-speaking at this time ; but of course , when it came to comrades in trouble , they could not resist the appeal to their sympathies . Such is the difficulty of entirely respectable and decorous `` parlour '' Socialists , in their dealings with the wayward children of the movement , the `` impossibilists '' and `` direct actionists '' and other sowers of proletarian wild oats . Dr. Service produced a wad of bills and bailed out all the prisoners , and delivered himself of impressive indignation to the police-sergeant , while waiting for an ambulance to carry `` Wild Bill '' to the hospital .
