11 o'clock
Such eyes , too ! Yes , a little starry maybe , but big and sparkly . No wonder Ernie did n't care to look at any of our lady typists if he had that in the background . So I was n't gettin ' ahead very fast untanglin ' them dockage contracts , and before 11 o'clock I was yawning . I 'd just decided to quit and loaf around the station until the theater train was ready when I hears an unsteady step in the outer office and the next minute in blows Ernie . That is , it 's somebody who looks a little as Ernie did three hours before . But his derby is busted in on one side , one end of his wing collar has been carried away and is ridin ' up towards his left ear , his coat is all dusty , and his face is flushed up like a new fire truck .
