eleven o'clock
Father were in the swim , and that 's why he 'd been a - ` intin ' to me all day and ` ad sent me to see what the light meant . My father ' e were a artful ole man , ' e were ; he knowed better nor to ` ave anythink to do with it hisself . Why , I b ` leave Sir Markham ` ud a murdered ` im if he ` ad , but me , o ' course , -- I was only a boy , and did as I were told . Well , sir , a-hactin ' under horders , I were a-waitin ' with the post-chaise at them Burnley Beeches at eleven o'clock . I 'd been a-waitin ' some time , and I begun to be afraid as they were n't a-comin ' . At last I see a white somethink comin ' along , and in another minute they was alongside . I shall never forget that night .
