ten o'clock
The policeman was not Irish or German-American . He was therefore neither loud nor browbeating . He was dry , quiet and accurate , and it seemed to Martin that either he did n't enjoy being dressed in a little brief authority or was a misanthrope , eager to return to his noiseless and solitary tramp under the April stars . Martin gave him Oldershaw 's full name and address and his own ; and the girl , still shrill and shattered , gave hers , after protesting that all automobiles ought to be put in a gigantic pile and scrapped , that all harum-scarum young men should be clapped in bed at ten o'clock and that all policemen should be locked up in their stations to play dominoes . `` If it 'll do you any good to know it , '' she said finally , `` it 's Susie Capper , commonly called ` Tootles . ' And I tell you what it is . If you come snooping round my place to get me before the beak , I 'll scream and kick , so help me Bob , I will . ''
