One o'clock
Heard the latest ? No , I 'll be shot if you have -- none of you have , and I 'm bursting to tell it -- positively exploding , damme if I 'm not . It was last night , at Crockford 's you 'll understand , and every one was there -- Skiffy , Apollo , the Poodle , Red Herrings , No-grow , the Galloping Countryman and your obedient humble . One o'clock was striking as the game broke up , and there 's Beverley yawning and waiting for his hat , d' ye see , when in comes the Golden Ball . ` Ha , Beverley ! ' says he , ` you gamble , they tell me ? ' ` Oh , now and then , ' says Beverley .
