ten o'clock
We had a delightful morning . Knickerbocker was affable . Alone in the solitudes of nature with one of my own sex , I was tolerably at home , and flattered myself that I appeared to considerable advantage , especially as I really was a skillful angler , and landed two trout to my friend 's landing one . By ten o'clock we each had a lovely string of the speckled beauties , and decided to go home for the day , returning on the morrow . The path we took out of the woods came into the highway just in front of the Widow Cooper 's . I knew it , but I felt quite cool , and determined to make some excuse to catch another glimpse of my companion 's sister . I had one splendid fish among my treasures , weighing over two pounds , while none of his weighed over a pound .
