about
ten in the morning
So we charged down the stairs , and made the adherents bunch themselves on the level ground . Then we harangued them , and they laughed , and hurrahed , and whistled , and jumped , while Priscilla , as an active emissary , ran around among them , punching them , and trying to make them keep still and listen . But as they all promised to stick to us and the royal queen through thick and thin , we did n't mind a little disorder . The next day but one was to be coronation day , and we impressed it on the minds of the adherents that they must be sure to be on hand about ten in the morning , in front of the queen 's hut . We concluded not to call it a palace until after the ceremony . When we had said all we had to say , we told the assemblage that it might go home ; but it did n't seem inclined to do anything of the kind . `` Look a here , boss , '' said one of them , -- a stout , saucy fellow , with the biggest hat and the biggest feet on the island , -- `` aint you agoin ' to give us nothin ' for comin ' round here ?
