five o'clock
Always makes me feel better after I 've handed Louie one like that -- his ears turns such a lovely pink , specially when there 's a crowd around . When I has time to chew it over I can think up some beauts . But this night I was goin ' to tell you about I did n't have any warnin ' at all . Mr. Robert was right in the middle of a heart-to-heart talk with a Pittsburg man , when five o'clock comes and the word is sent up that Louie has came . `` Tell him to come back in about half an hour , '' says Mr. Robert to me . `` Repeat at five-thirt ' , '' says I , sliding out for the elevator . It was an elegant afternoon , -- for pneumonia , -- slush and rain and ice-box zephyrs gallopin ' up and down the street .
