midnight
Kind , good Light ! Cap'n Daddy and I do not need you to-night , but , come storm , then God bless you ! '' It was not the girl 's intention to run up to the Station dock . She knew that Cap'n Billy had the midnight patrol , going east ; so she planned to make for the little cove , midway between the Station and the halfway house , and take Billy by surprise and assault . She chuckled delightedly as she constructed her mode of attack . She was hungry to feel the comfort of Billy 's understanding love and trust . The more she had to conceal from Billy , the more she yearned to be near him .
