twelve o'clock
Many showed signs of restless slumber , and the trainer was as watchful as an old hen with a brood of chickens . For some there were Saturday morning recitations ; those who were free were sent out to the field at ten o'clock and were put through a twenty-minute signal practise . Among these were Neil and Paul . A trot four times around the gridiron ended the morning 's work , and they were dismissed with orders to report at twelve o'clock for lunch . Neil , Paul , and Foster walked back together , and it was the last that suggested going down to the depot to see the arrival of the Robinson players . So they turned down Poplar Street to Main and made their way along in front of the row of stores there . The village already showed symptoms of excitement .
