two in the
morning
`` Do n't be an idiot ! You talk like a Tenderloin cop . Do we look like second-story workers ? '' `` I found you prowling around Mr. Carey 's grounds at two in the morning , '' said the watchman sharply , `` with a gun in your hand . My job is to protect this place , and I am going to take you both to Mr. Carey . '' Until this moment the young man could see nothing save the shaft of light and the tiny glowing bulb at its base ; now into the light there protruded a black revolver . `` Keep your hands up , and walk ahead of me to the house , '' commanded the watchman .
