Saturday noon
afternoon and perhaps evening , Mouse ? You have Saturday afternoon off , do n't you ? Leave me a note if you can call for me at 1.30 . He did n't have Saturday afternoon off , but he said he did in his note , and at one-thirty he appeared at her door in a new spring suit -LRB- purchased on Tuesday -RRB- , a new spring hat , very fuzzy and gay -LRB- purchased Saturday noon -RRB- , and the walking-stick he had bought on Tottenham Court Road , but decently concealed from the boarding-house . Istra took him to what she called a `` futurist play . '' She explained it all to him several times , and she stood him tea and muffins , and recalled Mrs. Cattermole 's establishment with full attention to Mrs. Cattermole 's bulbous but earnest nose . They dined at the Brevoort , and were back at nine-thirty ; for , said Istra , she was `` just a bit tired , Mouse . ''
