ten minutes
after six
` If I throw in the odds and ends , it will be one hundred and twenty-five thousand , ' said the New York man . ` That 's all right , ' said the California man , ` and my family will arrive , with their clothes , on the train that gets here at 6.20 this afternoon ; so if your family can get out of the house before that time , I 'm ready to pay the money , cash down . ' ` All right , ' said the New York man , ` I 'll see that they do it . ' And at ten minutes after six the New York family went out with their clothes to a hotel , and at twenty minutes of seven the California family came to the house with their clothes , and found everything all ready for 'em , the servants havin ' agreed to stay at California wages . `` Now , then , '' continued Captain Jabez , `` I do n't want to hurt nobody 's feelin 's , and I would n't say one word that would make the smallest infant think less of itself than it did afore I spoke , but it does strike me that that there proposition of yours is a good deal like the California man 's offer to the New York man . '' `` Well , '' said I , `` that turned out very well . Each got what he wanted . ''
