noon
`` But how on earth , young man , did you know that -- '' `` Just wait ! '' says I. `` You got a lot of guessin ' besides that . I 'll call for you at seven sharp . '' So I spent most of my noon hour rustlin ' through florist shops to get the particular kind of red roses I 'd been tipped off to find . I located 'em , though , and bought up the whole stock , sendin ' part to the house and luggin ' the rest to the head waiter . While I was at the hotel , too , I got next to the orchestra leader and gave him the names of some pieces he was to spring durin ' dinner . After all , though , it was Auntie who turned the cleverest trick .
