half past four
Kate carried three of them home with her ; and we had six for our share . The Old Squire dressed two of the largest ; and grandmother rolled them in meal and fried them with pork for our supper . I thought at the time that I had never tasted anything one half as good in my life ! Next morning Addison got up at half past four and having hastily milked his two cows , went over to the old mill-pond , to try his own hand at fishing there . He found Tom Edwards there already ; but neither of them caught a trout , nor saw one . Addison went again a day or two after ; and the story having got abroad , more than twenty persons fished there during the next fortnight , but caught no trout . Evidently it was a transient school .
