one at night
I started to speak , to stop whatever revelation she wished to make , but I might as well have attempted to stem a torrent with a leaf bridge . `` We 've heard things for a long time , '' Mrs. Hoch went on , `` but we did n't want to say nothin ' , ` specially as you seemed such friends , her runnin ' here and all . But we noticed she hai n't been comin ' lately , and then our Willie , he hears things a lot over at the station , and he says it 's common talk over there that your husband and that Draper girl are planning to elope . They take the same train every morning together , come home on the same one at night , and they are as friendly as anything . '' `` Mrs. Hoch , '' I snapped out , `` if I had known what you were going to say , I would not have allowed you to speak . Your words are an insult to my husband and myself . You will please to remember never to say anything like this to me again . ''
