eleven o'clock
One afternoon Leentje had complained of a terrible headache and had left off sewing and gone out . Later it was learned that she had not spent the evening with her mother ; and then there was a perfect storm . But Leentje would not say where she had been that night . `` That night '' was Juffrouw Pieterse 's expression , though she knew that the girl was at home by eleven o'clock . Leentje betrayed nothing . She had promised the dressmaker next door not to say anything ; for the dressmaker had to be very careful , because her husband was a hypocrite . In Leentje 's work-box was found a mutilated program ; and then one day she began to sing a song she had never sung before -- `` I 'm full of honor , I 'm full of honor ; oh , yes , I 'm a man of honor !
