two in the morning
So we rose and met it . And we realized that in scores of hospitals all over the war zone , on the side of the allies , similar scenes were enacting . The Germans were literally tearing the nerves out of hundreds of nurses by their raiding campaign -- nurses whom the raiders did not visit , but who were threatened by every moonlight night ! It must have been after two in the morning , when we saw the Eager Soul and the Gilded Youth walking around the court as they used to pace the deck together . Once or twice they passed our window , and we heard their voices . They were having some sort of a tall talk on philosophical matters , which annoyed Henry . The ocean and onion soup and philosophical theorizing never seemed reasonable , normal expressions of anything properly in the cosmos to Henry ; he professed to believe that persons who tolerated these things would sooner or later be caught using the words `` group '' and `` reaction '' and `` hypothesis , '' and he would have none of them .
