o'clock
It was a bright plan , and she was nearly sure she could carry it out ; but it was not a `` pretty part , '' and Sin Saxon had thought it fair she should have one ; therefore Zorayda . All this was reason why Leslie 's brain was busy , like her fingers , as she sat and sewed on the green curtain , and let Sin Saxon talk . Till Miss Craydocke said that `` something always gets crowded out , '' and so those words came to her in the midst of all . The Josselyns went away to their own room when the last rings had been sewn on ; and the curtain was ready , as had been promised , at ten o'clock . Leslie stayed , waiting for Dakie Thayne to come and fetch it . While she sat there , silent , by the window , Miss Craydocke brought out a new armful of something from a drawer , and came and placed her Shaker rocking-chair beside her . Leslie looked around , and saw her lap full of two little bright plaid dresses .
