eight
o'clock
That very day Henery Walker was shot . Several gentlemen fired at a rabbit that was started , and the next thing they knew Henery Walker was lying on the ground calling out that ` is leg ` ad been shot off . He made more fuss than Bill Chambers a ` most , ` specially when they dropped ` im off a hurdle carrying him ` ome , and the things he said to Dr. Green for rubbing his ` ands as he came into the bedroom was disgraceful . The fust Bob Pretty ` eard of it was up at the Cauliflower at eight o'clock that evening , and he set down ` is beer and set off to see Henery as fast as ` is legs could carry ` im . Henery was asleep when ' e got there , and , do all he could , Bob Pretty could n't wake ` im till he sat down gentle on ` is bad leg . `` It 's on ' y me , old pal , '' he ses , smiling at ` im as Henery woke up and shouted at ` im to get up . Henery Walker was going to say something bad , but ' e thought better of it , and he lay there arf busting with rage , and watching Bob out of the corner of one eye .
