About three o'clock
A little while after supper a large covered waggon drew up before the door . They got in and the waggon drove off . On and on , all through the dark night they drove . About three o'clock , George heard the click of a horse 's hoof coming behind them . ` That 's Simeon , ' said Phineas , who was driving , as he pulled up the horses to listen . ` Halloa , there , Simeon , ' he shouted , ` what news ? Are they coming ? '
