about eleven o'clock
Last night I decided to watch . The storm had stopped and the night was very still , but it was cloudy and dark and a flake of snow fell once in a while . I put on the big fur coat and sat on a box just inside the woodshed door , which was open on a crack . At about eleven o'clock I heard a faint noise at the barn as if something were in the yard at the side trying to get in at one of the windows . I swung my door open a little more , it creaked and I saw something dark go across the yard and over the fence . There was no sound that I could hear . I could not see that it touched the ground .
