about ten in the evening
Jim , I got it four times just from the overflow . Now , you know merely because Johnny 's father can lick any man in Cambria County , is that any reason why I should land out in the middle of the car track ? Not at all . Along about ten in the evening Bud wanted to keep the seven-o'clock - dinner date with the heiresses , but the rest of the gang were too busy . We blew into one of those concert halls over on Eighth Avenue where they have sand on the floor , red-white-and-blue tissue paper around the edge of the ceiling , no programme because it costs too much , and a bum piano for an orchestra . The Professor wore no coat , but he certainly knew his way around the ivories . A sad-looking , thin guy , with a four days ' growth and a large near-diamond stud , came out and announced that the next turn was the feature of the evening -- the winsome Sisters Montclair , who would sing a lovely waltz ballad written expressly for them , entitled , `` The Check Was Forged -- He Had Went Too Far .
