o'clock
`` And I am so glad I really can ride ! I 'd feel so horribly if I could n't ! '' `` I think you 'll have a wonderful two months of it , '' Harriet said , `` and then Granny 'll be coming West , to spend the winter in Santa Barbara , and that will be delightful , too ! And now , Nina love , it 's after eleven o'clock , '' she ended with a change of tone , `` and you have had a terrible day ! We will have to do some more shopping to-morrow afternoon , and try on the riding habits , and do a thousand things . And , Nina , '' Richard heard her add tenderly , when his daughter had given him a rather sober good-night kiss at the door of her room , `` whenever you feel sad and depressed about it , just remember to say to yourself , ` This wo n't last ! In a few months the sting will all be gone ! ' ''
