seven o'clock in the morning
`` My flat was just the second story of an old made-over house . There was no one about , I mean , to stare or wonder , and I asked him to come in . When we were inside I looked at my watch and asked him what time he had to report . He said not until seven o'clock in the morning . He was going over detached . There was nothing but a hotel to go back to . `` If I 'd asked him that question out on the sidewalk , and got that answer , I do n't know whether I 'd have asked him in or not .
