ten o'clock
As for Adam , he 'd turn this down quick and hard . '' `` Just you try him ! '' cried Nancy Ellen . `` For one thing , he wo n't be here at ten o'clock , '' said Kate , `` and for another , since it involves my becoming the wife of John Jardine , it is n't for Adam to decide . This decision is strictly my own . I merely mention the children , because if I married him , it would have an inevitable influence on their lives , an influence that I do n't in the least covet either for them or for myself . Nancy Ellen , ca n't you remotely conceive of such a thing as one human being in the world who is SATISFIED THAT HE HAS HIS SHARE , and who believes to the depths of his soul that no man should be allowed to amass , and to use for his personal indulgence , the amount of money that John Jardine does ?
