midnight
Then you know , just as soon as ever father got well enough to travel , he started straight home . He said he 'd had enough of Europe , and if he ever lived to get home , he would n't go another time without somebody with him . It was n't so very pleasant , he said , to come so near dying with nobody round that you knew , and not to hear a word of your own language . Then , you know , he got into Boston Saturday , and he hurried straight up here ; but the train only went as far as Rutland , and stopped at midnight . Then , you see , he was so crazy to see me and let me know he was n't dead , he could n't possibly wait ; so he hired a carriage and drove all the way over Sunday . And oh , Peace , when I saw him out there in the entry ! '' `` I guess you said your prayers that night , '' said Peace , smiling .
