nine o'clock at night
As pritty a place as iver you see , sir , wi ' water at the back convenent for the cattle . ' ` For God 's sake , ' said Maynard , ` tell me what it is about Miss Sarti . Do n't stay to tell me anything else now . ' ` Well , sir , ' said Knott , rather frightened by the parson 's vehemence , ` she come t ' our house i ' the carrier 's cart o ' Wednesday , when it was welly nine o'clock at night ; and Dorkis run out , for she heared the cart stop , an ' Miss Sarti throwed her arms roun ' Dorkis 's neck an ' says , `` Tek me in , Dorkis , tek me in , '' an ' went off into a swoond , like . An ' Dorkis calls out to me , -- `` Dannel , '' she calls -- an ' I run out and carried the young miss in , an ' she come roun ' arter a hit , an ' opened her eyes , and Dorkis got her to drink a spoonful o ' rum-an ' - water -- we 've got some capital rum as we brought from the Cross Keys , and Dorkis wo n't let nobody drink it . She says she keeps it for sickness ; but for my part , I think it 's a pity to drink good rum when your mouth 's out o ' taste ; you may just as well hev doctor 's stuff . However , Dorkis got her to bed , an ' there she 's lay iver sin ' , stoopid like , an ' niver speaks , an ' on ' y teks little bits an ' sups when Dorkis coaxes her .
