about half past nine
`` Right ; I am with you . '' `` We will take Ole , if you like , to do the talking for us . '' `` I do n't object . '' The train stopped at Katherineholm about half past nine . The boys had taken nothing but the Swedish early breakfast of coffee and a biscuit , and the head steward allowed them to have a more substantial meal , each paying for himself . They entered the restaurant , where , on a large table in the centre of the room , were great dishes of broiled salmon and veal cutlets , with high piles of plates near them . Each passenger helped himself at these dishes , and then seated himself at one of the little tables .
