eight o'clock
I stood Ted a pint , and arter he ` ad finished it I told ` im just how things was . I did n't say anything about the watch and chain , because there was no need to , and when we came outside agin I ` ad engaged an assistant-watchman for ninepence a night . `` All you 've got to do , '' I ses , `` is to keep me company . You need n't turn up till eight o'clock of a night , and you can leave ` arf an hour afore me in the morning . '' `` Right-o ! '' ses Ted . `` And if I see the ghost I 'll make it wish it ` ad never been born . ''
