It was already clear that even with my light weight and strong engine-power there was a point in front of me where I should be held.
Goldberger glanced at his watch. "I intended to adjourn for lunch," he said, "as soon as I had finished with Mr. Sylvester. We will adjourn now, if you wish until one-thirty," he added.

The night force consisted of two other men besides myself. The "split trick" man worked until ten o'clock, the other chap stayed around until twelve, or until he was clear, while I hung on until "30" on report which came anywhere from one-thirty until four A.

"I didn't know you were coming to Shadyside, Bobby," said Ruth Gladys Royal effusively.
He grinned down, taking a second longer than usual, and then stepped back, still grinning. "Charley de Milo, the Armless Wonder!" Dave said. "And many more sights inside, ladies and gentlemen, sights to amaze you, sights to chill your very blood, sights ..." One-thirty, and the last show over.
At twelve I reported on the green and practiced signals with the second squad until half past. Then came lunch. After lunch I scurried up to my room and dug up on chemistry, which was at one-thirty.
