about nine in the evening
So I just kept on going whenever I could , though very often there was no music . And I promised Anne that the first chance I could see I 'd take her too . Mums wrote for nurse to go up to London on the Thursday -- just the day before she and Hebe were coming . Nurse was to go up by an afternoon train , and she 'd get back about nine in the evening , mums wrote ; and we -- Anne and I -- might help to put the little ones to bed , and then we might sit up till nurse came back . There was really nothing to be anxious about , Mrs. Parsley was so kind , and really we were old enough to be left an hour or two by ourselves . Still nurse seemed a little uneasy . I 'm sure it was all about Serena .
