eleven o'clock
I say nothing about the dresses . It 's bad that that chap in the grey trousers should dare to dance the cancan so openly . I can forgive him if he does it in the gaiety of his heart , and since he is the local chemist ... . Still , eleven o'clock is a bit early even for chemists . There were two fellows fighting in the refreshment-bar and they were n't turned out . At eleven o'clock people ought to be turned out for fighting , whatever the standard of manners ... . Three o'clock is a different matter ; then one has to make concessions to public opinion -- if only this ball survives till three o'clock .
