three o’clock
O , those were happy days ! I thought I was as happy as any one could be ; but then there came evil times . He had a cousin come to New Orleans , who was his particular friend , -- he thought all the world of him ; -- but , from the first time I saw him , I could n't tell why , I dreaded him ; for I felt sure he was going to bring misery on us . He got Henry to going out with him , and often he would not come home nights till two or three o'clock . I did not dare say a word ; for Henry was so high spirited , I was afraid to . He got him to the gaming-houses ; and he was one of the sort that , when he once got a going there , there was no holding back . And then he introduced him to another lady , and I saw soon that his heart was gone from me .
