noon on Saturday
On their way across lots they talked of many things appertaining to the forthcoming entertainment . `` By the way , Mr. McGowan , '' said Handy , `` is there any danger about the hall not being ready for us on Saturday night ? '' `` Make your mind easy on that score , '' replied McGowan , with confidence . `` When I get back to the store and give it out that I must have the hall finished by noon on Saturday , in order to celebrate properly and in A-No . 1 style the anniversary with a show at night , why , man alive ! I 'll have more men to go to work to-morrow morning than would be wanted to finish two Gotown Metropolitan Academies of Music in the time specified . Yes , sir ; when I tell you a thing like that you can bank on it .
