eleven o'clock
The afternoon lengthened . Night came , and Fingers had not come . Kent did not sleep much between the hour when he went to bed and morning . It was eleven o'clock when the missioner made his call . Before he left , Kent gave him a brief note for Fingers . He had just finished his dinner , and Carter had taken the dishes away , when Father Layonne returned . A look at his face , and Kent knew that he bore unpleasant tidings .
