about one o'clock
A dance meant girls . He knew that . Why had n't he learned to dance ? Tyler walked down to the station and waited for the train that would bring him to Chicago at about one o'clock . The other boys , in little groups , or in pairs , were smoking and talking . Tyler wanted to join them , but he did not . They seemed so sufficient unto themselves , with their plans , and their glib knowledge of places , and amusements , and girls .
