about four o’clock
But the story of the children haunted me for an hour or two . I 've never since quite made up my mind as to why the Boss took me home . Probably he really did think it would do his wife good to talk to a stranger ; perhaps he wanted me to understand -- maybe he was weakening as he grew older , and craved for a new word or hand-grip of sympathy now and then . When I did get to sleep I could have slept for three or four days , but Andy roused me out about four o'clock . The old woman that they called Auntie was up and had a good breakfast of eggs and bacon and coffee ready in the detached kitchen at the back . We moved about on tiptoe and had our breakfast quietly . ` The wife made me promise to wake her to see to our breakfast and say Good-bye to you ; but I want her to sleep this morning , Jack , ' said the Boss .
