Nine o'clock
` But that was my hat , ' I said to Ethelbertha . `` The moment we reached home Ethelbertha looked for Amenda , and I looked for my hat . Neither was to be found . `` Nine o'clock struck , ten o'clock struck . At half-past ten , we went down and got our own supper , and had it in the kitchen . At a quarter-past eleven , Amenda returned . She walked into the kitchen without a word , hung my hat up behind the door , and commenced clearing away the supper things .
