Knighting sequence dialogue
Is it "Quarter of Ten" (like the time) or "Water of Ten" (I.e., "water often")? --Jay (Histrion) (talk • contribs) 00:21, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Quarter of ten seems much more likely, wouldn't you think? 24.218.79.189 (talk) 03:32, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Clean your ears out, it's Quarter of Ten. What comedy writer in 1949 would think calling someone "Water of Ten" would have them rolling in the aisles with laughter?John Simpson54 (talk) 18:45, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

It's definitely "Quarter of Ten". For the benefit of anyone under the age of 40, "quarter of" is a now-slightly old fashioned way to express a time of day, meaning "approximately 15 minutes before the hour." A natural sort of idiom in an era when everyone use analog mechanical watches that couldn't be expected to be accurate down to the minute anyway. Back then you rarely even bothered to read time down to the minute. 24.5.159.207 (talk) 00:51, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
