ten o'clock at night
He was the sort of man I have a notion you 'd have liked . He 'd be down to the office before the doors were open , and he 'd stay until some one put him out . I guess he was born that way . But I do n't believe he ever stayed up after ten o'clock at night in his life . Maybe there was n't as much doing in New York after ten in those days as there is now . I do n't want to make any excuses , but , true as you 're living , if I turned in at ten I might just as well set up business in the Fiji Islands . It 's about that time the evening really begins .
