midnight
`` Do n't be too sure that you wo n't have another visit from the rascal , '' warned Tom . `` Dick , Mr. Fits knows you 're the leader of our crowd , and that 's why he 'll single out your house , if any , for a visit of revenge . '' `` I 'd like to stay awake and see , '' smiled Dick . `` Yet I 'm almost certain that I 'd fall into a sound doze before midnight . '' During the day there were a lot of the Central Grammar School boys to be met , and each one had to have some account of the wonderful snowbound days . By evening Dick had very nearly forgotten the possible danger from Mr. Fits . After supper Dave sauntered into the Prescott store .
