about midnight
Ever cruise around much on them Long Island branch lines ? Say , it must be int ` restin ' sport , providin ' you do n't care whether you get there this week or next . I missed one connection by waitin ' for the brakeman to call out the change . And when I 'd caught another train back to the right junction I got the pleasin ' bulletin that the next for Quehassett is the theater train , that comes along somewhere about midnight . So there I was hung up in a rummy little commuter town where the chief industry is sellin ' bungalow sites on the salt marsh . Then I tackles the ` phone , which results in three snappy conversations with a grouchy butler at sixty cents a throw , but no real dope on the Beckhams or their guests . Well , it 's near two A.M. when I fin ` lly lands in Quehassett , which is no proper time to call on anybody 's aunt .
