five o'clock
`` I shall back both Dainty Dick and The Philosopher , '' he said , when I had finished ; `` come down to Wright 's with me , and I will have a fiver on each of them . I do n't get tips like these every day . '' He put on his cap and tried to persuade me to go with him , but I was sick of the man , he seemed to me to be simply throwing his money away ; so I went back to my rooms , and finding that Murray had been to Armitage 's lecture , I borrowed his notes and copied them into my book , though Murray said , and I thought , that I was wasting my time . I did not see Ward again until after five o'clock , when he brought an evening paper and a cheerful countenance into my rooms and told me that Dainty Dick had won the Flying Welter , and The Philosopher had been second . `` Two pretty good tips , my boy , '' he said ; `` nothing but your obstinacy prevented your being on . '' Collier had been having tea with me , and was to all appearances asleep when Ward came in , but without opening his eyes he said , `` Betting is a mug 's game . What price did this brute start at ? ''
