ten o'clock
An ' as he were set theer , waitin ' for it to get dark , he saw five blue-bottles that were laikin ' at tig i ' t ' sunshine anent t ' wall . Well , that made t ` owd devil fair mad , for they ought to hae bin i ' t ' houses temptin ' fowks to sin ; so he oppened his cake-hoil , thrast out his forked tongue , an ' swallowed three on 'em at one gulp . After that he felt a bit better . When it were turned ten o'clock , he crawled alang t ' loans an ' bridle-stiles , while he gat to Throp 's farm . He sidled under t ' door and into t ' kitchen . It were as dark as a booit i ' t ' kitchen , an ' he could hear Throp snorin ' i ' bed aboon t ' balks . So he crawled up t ' stairs , an ' under t ' chamer door , an ' up on to t ' bed .
