eleven o'clock
The four made so much noise that the crowds on the sidewalk were looking at them -- looking smilingly , delighted by the sight of such gayety . Susan was even gayer than Etta . She sang , she took a puff at John 's cigarette ; then laughed loudly when he seized and kissed her , laughed again as she kissed him ; and she and John fell into each other 's arms and laughed uproariously as they saw Fatty and Etta embracing . The driver kept his promise ; eleven o'clock found them bursting into Sternberg 's , over the Rhine -- a famous department store for Germans of all classes . They had an hour , and they made good use of it . Etta was for yielding to Fatty 's generous urgings and buying right and left . But Susan would not have it .
