midnight
`` If it was a submarine I would make a rescue of you , Mr. Vandeford , sir , '' the faithful henchman assured the panic-stricken producer . `` She 's worse than any submarine ever floated , and I 'm rammed -- in a corner , Pops . To make a story that is going to be long in acting , short in telling , I 've had to put Miss Adair on to what is usually handed out to the authors of plays , and then to stop her wails , offered to let her sit in and watch her play baby hacked up . Her office-hours here and at rehearsals will be from ten mornings to midnight , and what are you going to do about it ? '' Mr. Vandeford questioned Mr. Meyers with a kind of forlorn hope in his eyes , for Mr. Meyers had often seen him through the crooks of his trade . `` I advise to make it straight to her , Mr. Vandeford , sir , and she will come out all right or otherwise go home . That young lady has the look of a horse on which I won seven hundred at the last Gravesend .
