nearly five o'clock before
It dropped off a point and then recovered . I told my brokers to pick up 10,000 shares at or below 65 . I am confident it will strike that figure before the end of the week . It was nearly five o'clock before we started up the lane toward Bishop 's . We were delayed half an hour waiting for Marshall , but , knowing his weakness , we fixed the time of departure half an hour sooner than necessary . If Marshall 's hope for eternal salvation depended on applying at the pearly gates at a specified time , he would spend eternity in the other place on account of being thirty minutes late . Knowing this to be his habit , we always provide against it .
