midnight
The Cutters seemed to find their relations to each other interesting and stimulating , and certainly the rest of us found them so . Wick Cutter was different from any other rascal I have ever known , but I have found Mrs. Cutters all over the world ; sometimes founding new religions , sometimes being forcibly fed -- easily recognizable , even when superficially tamed . AFTER ANTONIA WENT TO live with the Cutters , she seemed to care about nothing but picnics and parties and having a good time . When she was not going to a dance , she sewed until midnight . Her new clothes were the subject of caustic comment . Under Lena 's direction she copied Mrs. Gardener 's new party dress and Mrs. Smith 's street costume so ingeniously in cheap materials that those ladies were greatly annoyed , and Mrs. Cutter , who was jealous of them , was secretly pleased . Tony wore gloves now , and high-heeled shoes and feathered bonnets , and she went downtown nearly every afternoon with Tiny and Lena and the Marshalls ' Norwegian Anna .
