midnight
Every afternoon they were out in force . They promenaded up and down the street too , with dainty parasols , and often times no bonnet , but a little square of lace with long lappets . One evening after Margaret and the Doctor came , they all went in to the hop to look on . Hanny thought the dancing a bewitching sight , and could have stayed up until midnight watching it . There were a good many quite famous people whom Dr. Hoffman knew , and Hanny had seen on Broadway or up at Washington Square . Daisy was almost in despair at the thought of Hanny 's return . Dr. Hoffman had promised to take a brother physician 's practice when he went away to recuperate , so he felt that he really could not extend his stay beyond the week .
