nearly ten o'clock
If Julia took the motor and stopped at the agent 's for the key , he would meet her there at four -- how about it ? Agreed . Gosh ! It was nearly ten o'clock , and Jim had to get out to the Children 's Hospital before he went to Oakland . Julia had a quick kiss , and was advised to take good care of herself .
