about ten o’clock
They had asked Rose Atwood to go down with them , so that left only the radio boys to take the trip down the next day in the doctor 's car . And as the boys had to pack their suitcases and get their fishing tackle and other sporting material together they stayed chatting only for a little while on Bob 's porch that evening and separated early . The next morning dawned gloriously and gave promise of a perfect day . The doctor was on hand at about ten o'clock , and the boys bundled into the car , full of the highest spirits and looking forward to a summer of unalloyed fun and sport . The doctor himself drove , and the car , under his skilful handling , made rapid time along the beautiful roads . The boys joked and laughed and sang and enjoyed themselves to the full . They were like so many frisky colts let out to pasture .
