Ten o'clock
`` I saw Peabody reeling out of the saloon this afternoon , '' said Tom . `` I asked him if he considered it was ` high-toned ' to drink in a saloon , as that is the word he is always using , but he said it did n't make much difference out here , where he was n't known . '' `` Peabody is n't overstocked with brains , though he does come from Boston , '' said Miles . Ten o'clock came , and Miles rose to go . `` I must have a good night 's rest , '' he said , `` for to-morrow night must see me many miles on my road . Tom , I will attend to that commission of yours just as soon as I have the opportunity . '' `` Thank you , Mr. Miles . ''
