six o'clock
* * * * * Jack sighed again ; passed through , picked up the parcel of clothes that lay in the window-seat , unhitched the hammock in which Frank had slept last night -LRB- he noticed the ends of three cigarettes placed on the cover of a convenient biscuit-tin -RRB- , and went off resembling a _ retiarius _ . Mrs. Jillings sniffed again as she looked after him up the court . She did n't understand those young gentlemen at all ; and frequently said so . -LRB- VI -RRB- At half-past six o'clock that morning -- about the time that Jack awoke in Cambridge -- John Harris , laborer , emerged , very sleepy and frowsy -- for he had sat up late last night at the `` Spotted Dog '' -- from the door of a small cottage on the Ely road , in the middle of Grunty Fen . He looked this way and that , wondering whether it were as late as his kitchen-clock informed him , and observing the sun , that hung now lamentably high up in that enormous dome of summer sky that sat on the fenland like a dish-cover on a dish . And as he turned southwards he became aware of a young gentleman carrying a carpet-bag in one hand , and a gray jacket over his other arm , coming up to him , not twenty yards away . As he came nearer , Mr. Harris noticed that his face was badly bruised as by a blow .
