ten
in the evening
I was afraid of being seen in my gay mood . It must have seemed to me that I was doing a thing that should not be done by one who , like myself , had been raised on a chicken farm where death was a daily visitor . Mother decided that our restaurant should remain open at night . At ten in the evening a passenger train went north past our door followed by a local freight . The freight crew had switching to do in Pickleville and when the work was done they came to our restaurant for hot coffee and food . Sometimes one of them ordered a fried egg . In the morning at four they returned north-bound and again visited us .
