midnight
Ring him up to-morrow and get him to dine with you or something . If there 's any way of stopping that poisonous woman 's tongue , we 'll find it ... . Meanwhile , I shall tell our parish workers that Leila Yorke 's works are obscene , and that they 're not to read them to mother 's meetings as is their habit . ' I sat up till midnight , wondering how on earth I was going to put it to Arthur . I did n't dine with Arthur . I thought it would last too long , and that he might want me to go , and that I should certainly want to go , after I had said what I had to say . So I rang him up at the office and asked if he could lunch .
