midnight of Tuesday
Marriage was a serious business . He was still resolving this when he turned into a shop . `` I want to get a steamer trunk -- sailing Wednesday , '' he said in firm tones to the clerk . * * * * * It was midnight of Tuesday . In the steam-heated apartment Bean paced the floor . He was attired in the garments prescribed for gentlemen 's evening wear , and he was still pleasantly fretted by the excitement of having dined with the Breede family at the ponderous town house up east of the park . He tried to recall in their order the events of those three days since he had left the office on Saturday .
