three o'clock in the afternoon
Ramon and Luis Rojas had proven themselves artists in this particular line of work , and the cashier , when it was all over and the camera and company were busily at work elsewhere , lived it in his imagination and felt that he was at least tasting the full flavor of red-blooded adventure without having to pay the usual price of bitterness and bodily suffering . He was mistaken , of course -- as I am going to explain . What the cashier had taken part in was not the adventure itself but merely a rehearsal and general preparation for the real performance . This had been on Wednesday , just after three o'clock in the afternoon . On Saturday forenoon the cashier was called upon the phone and asked if a part of that robbery stuff could be retaken that day . The cashier thrilled instantly at the thought of it . Certainly , they could retake as much as they pleased .
