twelve o'clock
The next two months were delightful . Trina and McTeague saw each other regularly , three times a week . The dentist went over to B Street Sunday and Wednesday afternoons as usual ; but on Fridays it was Trina who came to the city . She spent the morning between nine and twelve o'clock down town , for the most part in the cheap department stores , doing the weekly shopping for herself and the family . At noon she took an uptown car and met McTeague at the corner of Polk Street . The two lunched together at a small uptown hotel just around the corner on Sutter Street . They were given a little room to themselves .
