five o'clock
`` If I live to be a hundred and break the bank at Monte Carlo three times a week , '' said Mallory , shaking his head reminiscently , `` I could not know a tenth part of the frantic excitement of that race or of the mad triumph when our horse won . Gra n'ther cast his hat upon the ground , screaming like a steam-calliope with exultation as the sorrel swept past the judges ' stand ahead of all the others , and I jumped up and down in an agony of delight which was almost more than my little body could hold . `` After that we went away , feeling that the world could hold nothing more glorious . It was five o'clock and we decided to start back . We paid for Peggy 's dinner out of the dollar we had won on the race -- I say ` we , ' for by that time we were welded into one organism -- and we still had a dollar and a quarter left . ` While ye 're about it , always go the whole hog ! ' said gra n'ther and we spent twenty minutes in laying out that money in trinkets for all the folks at home .
