six o'clock
Did the major man bring the money ? '' `` He says , '' I answered , `` that he succeeded in negotiating the loan . '' If any cooks ever earned ten thousand dollars in twelve hours , me and Caligula did that day . At six o'clock we spread the top of the mountain with as fine a dinner as the personnel of any railroad ever engulfed . We opened all the wine , and we concocted entrées and _ pièces de resistance _ , and stirred up little savory _ chef de cuisines _ and organized a mass of grub such as has been seldom instigated out of canned and bottled goods . The railroad gathered around it , and the wassail and diversions was intense . After the feast me and Caligula , in the line of business , takes Major Tucker to one side and talks ransom .
