half after three
`` That 's so , '' says Vee . `` Then -- then shall we do it ? '' `` I 'm game if you are , '' says I. `` All right , '' says she , and I hears one of them ripplin ' laughs of hers comin ' over the wire . `` It 's to-morrow at half after three , you know . '' `` I 'll be on hand , '' says I. And , believe me , when I gets there and sees the swell mob collectin ' in the pink ballroom , I 'm some pleased with myself for gettin ' that hunch to doll up in my frock coat and lavender tie . It 's mostly a fluff audience ; but there 's enough of a sprinklin ' of Johnnies and old sports so I do n't feel too conspicuous . Course I wa 'n' t lookin ' forward to any treat .
