seven o'clock
I never left Jenkins 's heels one second , and he said I was much more of a nuisance than Thomas , because Thomas caught on to things naturally , and I asked questions all the time . I do n't believe I 'll see anything in Europe to beat that place . When we get to milking our cows , and separating our cream , and doing our cleaning by electricity , it 'll be something like , wo n't it ? We took a seven o'clock train back to New York this morning , so that Mr. Stevens could get to his office by nine , and he had me go with him and wait around until he was at leisure again . I certainly thought the stenographers ' fingers would fly off , and all the office boys moved with a hop , skip , and jump ; really , the slowest things in the rooms were the electric fans whizzing around . By half-past eleven Mr. Stevens had dictated about two hundred and fifty letters , sold several million dollars ' worth of property -LRB- he 's a real-estate broker -RRB- , and was all ready to go out with me to buy more socks , neckties , handkerchiefs , etc. , having decided that I did n't have enough . We had `` lunch '' at Sherry 's -- another swell restaurant -- and took a trip up the Hudson in the afternoon , getting back at half-past ten -- `` Just in time , '' said Mr. Stevens , `` to look in at a roof-garden before we go to bed .
