four o'clock in the
morning
` I should n't have liked to have sat down for the first dance , ' she said confidentially to Charley , ` because it 's my first ball . ' ` Sit down ! I do n't suppose you 'll be let to sit down the whole evening . You 'll be crying out for mercy about three or four o'clock in the morning . ' ` It 's you to go on now , ' said Katie , whose eyes were intent on the figure , and who would not have gone wrong herself , or allowed her partner to do so , on any consideration . And so the dance went on right merrily . ` I 've got to dance the first polka with Miss Golightly , ' said Charley .
