about twelve o'clock
Come , put up your whinger , my man , and dinna be breakin the peace o ' the meetin . ' Weel , you see , as Sir Robert was a good freend o ' mine , and had stood my part in many a strait , I did as he bade me , but wi ' a secret oath that I wad tak an opportunity after o ' clearin scores wi ' Tinlin . And , by my feth , it wasna lang or I got amends o ' him . The very next nicht , having beforehand learned whar he lived , I slippit my beast quietly out o ' the stable , mounted and set off at a swingin trot for Tinlin 's , where I arrived about twelve o'clock at nicht -- a distance o ' thirty miles ; but I kent every fit o ' the way . On reachin the house , I rapped at the door . ` Wha 's there ? ' cried Tinlin , jumpin out o ' his bed .
