the afternoon
muttered Kelley , who could not understand Browning 's view of an affair of honor . `` Youse takes der cream , dat 's wot yer do ! '' On Saturday afternoon one week after the rush at the park certain students might have been seen to stroll , one at a time , into the saloon over which were the headquarters of Professor Kelley . It was three in the afternoon that about twenty lads were gathered in Buster 's training-room to witness the meeting between Merriwell and Browning . Tad Horner was chosen referee . `` Look here , '' he said before the first round , `` if any man here is n't satisfied with my decisions , let him meet me after the match is over , and I will satisfy him or fight him . '' This was said in all earnestness , and it brought a round of applause and laughter .
