midnight
If we ventured to show ourselves as we really are , we should be either hermits , each dwelling on his own mountain-top , or criminals down in the valleys . * * * * * Torp has gone to evening service . Angelic creature ! She has taken a lantern with her , therefore we shall probably not see her again before midnight . In consequence of her religious enthusiasm , we dined at breakfast-time . Yes , Torp knows how to grease the wheels of her existence ! Naturally she is about as likely to attend church as I am .
