seven o'clock
A truck and the little delivery cart , being outside of the burned shed , Bart found intact . He ran them down to the building he had determined to utilize , temporarily at least , as express headquarters for Pleasantville . The yards were fairly deserted except for a sleepy night watchman here and there . It was not yet seven o'clock , but when Bart reached the in-freight house he found it open and one or two clerks hurrying through their work so as to get off for the day at ten . There was a good deal of questioning , for they knew of the fire , and knew Bart as well , and liked him , and when he made his wants known willing hands ministered to his needs . Bart carried back with him a hammer and some nails , a broom , a marking pot and brush , pens , ink and a couple of tabs of paper . As he neared the switch shanty where Lem Wacker had been on duty the day previous , he noticed that it had been opened up since he had passed it last .
