noon
And now let 's go to the theatre -- what do you say ? '' The automobile was called , Mrs. Colfax and her guest , Miss Genier , appeared . There was an interesting evening in a box , with Eugene talking gaily and entertainingly to all , and then an after-theatre bite at Sherry 's . The next morning , for he stayed all night at Colfax 's , they visited the United Magazines Corporation building together , and at noon Eugene returned to Philadelphia . His head was fairly seething and ringing with all he had seen and heard . Colfax was a great man , he thought , greater in some respects than Kalvin . He was more forceful , more enthusiastic , younger -- more like himself , than Kalvin .
