`` What ! '' said the astounded Mr. Sadler . `` Why , it 's eleven o'clock . '' `` I ca n't help it if it 's twelve o'clock , '' was the reply . `` You should n't play the fool and spoil things by laughing . Now , are you going , or have I got to put you out ? '' He crossed the room and , putting his hand on the shoulder of the protesting Mr. Sadler , pushed him into the passage , and taking his coat from the peg held it up for him .
