Eleven o'clock
* * * * * These days of separation were more easily borne by Richard than by Dorothy . Richard was rich in a dogged fortitude common enough with men . Moreover , he had his work , and he went into it more deeply than before . Eleven o'clock still found him in the study with Senator Hanway , albeit Dorothy was no longer there to make a lovely third . Perhaps for that reason more politics and news of legislation were discussed by Richard and Senator Hanway . The latter gentleman , these days , was in the best of tempers . Nothing could be more smoothly hopeful than the outlook for that nomination .
