midnight
You ca n't sit over me like a mother hen all the time , you know . '' `` All right , '' agreed Douglas . `` I suppose I do act like an old woman . I 'll be home a little after midnight . '' The dance was in full swing by the time Douglas and Judith reached the hall , with all the Lost Chief familiars present except Charleton . Inez came with Scott . The vague feeling of uneasiness that Johnny 's report had given him did not leave Douglas , not even when he swung into his first dance with Judith .
