nine o'clock
This is what it is : one of the other fellows that 's about my height and build wanted to go to the motor-show in Boston last week and his dad would n't let him . He 's simply wild over aeroplanes , and there was a model there , and when the last night came , he got me to help him out . He pretended to go to bed about a quarter of nine . Instead , he sneaked me up the back-stairs and left me in his room , and he caught the nine o'clock for Boston . I went to bed and put out the light . After a while his mother put her head in the door and asked if I was asleep , and then came in and kissed me . About two o'clock he came back , climbed in the window , and I vamoosed .
