eleven
o'clock
`` I ken not carry it , '' cried Tilly ; `` there 's three bushels and a haff ; and it 'll break my back , if I try to tuck it hum . '' `` I did not think of that . It will be too heavy for one load ; but I will tell you how you can manage it , '' said Fabens . `` We will turn half of it into your other bag , that lies out there by the fence , and you can carry it half at a time , and then get it home before eleven o'clock . '' Then came another scourge like molten lead upon him . He had hoped that Fabens would not discover the other bag ; but now the worst was known ; and taking the fiery chastisement , he submitted , insisting on coming to work , and declaring he would take no more pay for his work ; while the Squire declared if he worked he should have his pay . He carried away the wheat , and never again was detected in crime committed after that night .
