midnight
is not unlike my experience with the blocks . You can leave her , firmly convinced that at last you are on a basis of real understanding ; and two or three days later , when you meet her again , you find all the blocks lying around in disorder . Instead of a friend , one is an esteemed acquaintance . The only way to win her , I suppose , would be to call at dawn and stay until midnight . It would be a bit trying , but I get awfully `` fed up '' -LRB- as they say over here -RRB- with being constantly recalled to the barrier . ` Of course , you old humbug , I can see you pursing your lips and saying , `` Does Austin really love her ? If he did , he would be unable to see her faults . ''
