midnight
So Judge Thatcher and the widow had to quit on the business . That pleased the old man till he could n't rest . He said he 'd cowhide me till I was black and blue if I did n't raise some money for him . I borrowed three dollars from Judge Thatcher , and pap took it and got drunk , and went a-blowing around and cussing and whooping and carrying on ; and he kept it up all over town , with a tin pan , till most midnight ; then they jailed him , and next day they had him before court , and jailed him again for a week . But he said _ he _ was satisfied ; said he was boss of his son , and he 'd make it warm for _ him . _ When he got out the new judge said he was a-going to make a man of him . So he took him to his own house , and dressed him up clean and nice , and had him to breakfast and dinner and supper with the family , and was just old pie to him , so to speak .
