twelve o'clock
Tall , lean chap ' e was , with a real wicked face . ' E gave us an awful sermon all about ` ow we were to reform our lives , an ' about all the things we was to renounce in this world , an ' about the ` orrible fire as was awaitin ' us in the next if we did n't follow ` is advice . After the service Mr. Short comes up to me an ' asks me to stay on after the others . Blowed if ' e did n't keep me till twelve o'clock jawin ' me about the dooties my noo faith brought me an ' about wot I read an ' ` oo I talked to . By the time I got away from ` im I was ` arf stunned ; an ' I ` ad to go again in the evenin ' ! `` Every blinkin ' Sunday the same thing ` appened . I used to spend the ` ole week swearin ' and sendin ' Short an ' Wesley to the ` ottest place in the world .
