a quarter past eleven before
`` If Sam has the book he has n't drawn any money on it , or he would go to the theater . Perhaps he is innocent . '' Sam stayed out late . He did not go to the theater , being , as he said , short of money , but he lounged away the evening in billiard saloons , and it was a quarter past eleven before he got back to his room . When he entered Henry was fast asleep . Sam congratulated himself upon this . He felt that now was his chance to return the book .
