ten o'clock
Why , good golly ! Nobody but a millionaire could afford to pay that much just for riding around ; and if they could , they 'd buy themselves an airplane . They would n't rent one , that was certain . At ten o'clock Johnny mentally blew up . He had not come to Los Angeles to sit around in any doggone hotel like an old woman waiting for a train , and if Bland or anybody else thought he 'd hang around there all day -- He went to the desk , left word that he had gone out to Inglewood , watched the clerk scribble the information on a slip of paper and put it in his key box , and went out wondering how he was going to find his way to the Thunder Bird . But his natural initiative came to his aid . He saw an automobile with a FOR HIRE sign on it , held brief conversation with the driver , and was presently leaning back on the cushions watching luckless pedestrians dodge out of the way .
