half past ten
So I took the net off the hooks , folded it the lengthwise , and shook it crossways , up and down the room . One of the rings of the net , flying round , accidentally hit the back of my hand , the effect of which I did not soon forget . When I went to bed for the third time , I cooled off a little , but could not sleep easily . My watch showed it was half past ten . Well , as I thought it over , I realized myself as having come to a dirty pit . If all teachers of middle schools everywhere have to handle fellows like these in this school , those teachers have my sympathy . It is wonderful that teachers never run short .
