ten o'clock
She can hold her own against ten thousand . The step of that tram-car is her Thermopylae . Therefore , there is a certain wild romance aboard these cars -- and in the sturdy bosom of Annie herself . The time for soft romance is in the morning , between ten o'clock and one , when things are rather slack : that is , except market-day and Saturday . Thus Annie has time to look about her . Then she often hops off her car and into a shop where she has spied something , while the driver chats in the main road . There is very good feeling between the girls and the drivers .
