quarter past four sharp
We asked all the girls at the table for contributions , but they were nearly penniless . I said , `` Are you in a hurry , Martha ? '' And she said she had to be there at two o'clock . So we told her to hurry on , and we would get the money somewhere and meet her on the corner of Main and Market Streets at quarter past four sharp . She said , `` Honest ? '' And I answered , `` Yes , trust me . We 'll be there , and I 'll stand treat for soda water , if I can scrape up any extra pennies .
