eleven o’clock
Sometimes mother says six feet and sometimes she says five . ' These children seemed to be upon very much the same terms with Antonia as the Harling children had been so many years before . They seemed to feel the same pride in her , and to look to her for stories and entertainment as we used to do . It was eleven o'clock when I at last took my bag and some blankets and started for the barn with the boys . Their mother came to the door with us , and we tarried for a moment to look out at the white slope of the corral and the two ponds asleep in the moonlight , and the long sweep of the pasture under the star-sprinkled sky . The boys told me to choose my own place in the haymow , and I lay down before a big window , left open in warm weather , that looked out into the stars . Ambrosch and Leo cuddled up in a hay-cave , back under the eaves , and lay giggling and whispering .
