One-fifteen o'clock
`` Now , sport , '' he said , `` there ai n't no use thinkin ' about gettin ' that train , because it 's gone , and I may as well say now that you 've got to come with me , unless you want me to smash your head in . The fact is , this ai n't no public automobile , and I had n't no right to take you for a passenger . This automobile belongs to a lady and I 'm her hired chauffeur , and she 's at a bridge-whist party in a house on Fifth Avenue , and I 'm supposed to be waiting outside that house . One-fifteen o'clock was the time she said she would be out . But I thought maybe I might make a dollar or two for myself instead of waiting there all that time , and she would never know it . And now it is nearly two o'clock , and if I go back alone she will be raving mad , and I 'll get my discharge and no references , and my poor wife and six children will have to starve . So you will have to go with me and explain how it was that I was n't there at one-fifteen o'clock . ''
