midday
The examination which was held in the city was divided into two parts , one taking place from ten to twelve in the morning , and the other from two to five in the afternoon . There were about thirty students present , and as far as possible each was separated from any friends he might have on hand , so that Dave sat on one side of the hall in which the examination occurred and the senator 's son sat on the other . `` Well , how did you make out ? '' questioned Roger of Dave , when the two went out for their midday lunch . `` I do n't know exactly , Roger , '' was the reply . `` I think , however , that I answered at least seventy per cent , of the questions correctly . How about yourself ? ''
