midnight
Well , last week Mr. Robert sent me to the terminal offices for a report on their tracer . I told him to let me try a ten on some assistant general freight agent . It worked . He went right out with a switch engine and cut that car out of the middle of a half-mile long train on a siding , and before midnight it was being loaded on the steamer . '' Also it was Vincent who did the rescue act when we was entertainin ' that bunch of government inspectors who come around once a year to see that we ai n't carryin ' any wildcat stocks on our securities list , or have n't scuttled our sinking fund , or anything like that . Course , our books are always in such shape that they 're welcome to paw 'em over all they like . That 's easy enough .
