He waited an hour, walking about, putting in his time as well as he could, but interested in nothing that came under his eye, and at last he presented himself at the office again and asked if any answer had come yet.

The boy said, "No, no answer yet," then glanced at the clock and added, "I don't think it's likely you'll get one to-day." "Why not ?" "Well, you see it's getting pretty late.

You can't always tell where 'bouts a man is when he's on the other side, and you can't always find him just the minute you want him, and you see it's getting about six o'clock now, and over there it's pretty late at night." "Why yes," said Tracy, "I hadn't thought of that." "Yes, pretty late, now, half past ten or eleven.

Oh yes, you probably won't get any answer to-night.".
