But she did not know that she knew -- which sounds like nonsense and is as near as I can come to getting it down in words . Willie left that night , the 16th , and we settled down to quiet days , and , for a time , to undisturbed nights . But on the following Wednesday , by my journal , the telephone commenced to bother me again . Generally speaking , it rang rather early , between eleven o'clock and midnight . But on the following Saturday night I find I have recorded the hour as 2 a.m. . In every instance the experience was identical . The telephone never rang the second time .
