midnight
We thought you must be asleep and did n't hear the telephone . We tried to call you up and explain . You see , Jane was there alone , and of course she did n't much enjoy staying after what had happened ; so we waited till the Johnsons got back from the city . They had been to the theatre , and they just came on that midnight train . If I lived in a lonely place like that , I would n't leave three babies with a young girl all alone in the house . It seems the servants were all away , or left , or something . I guess they were pretty scared when they got back .
