midnight
Youth and joy and laughter drew to them . The house was lively with young life . Ever , day and night , the motor cars honked up and down the gravelled drives . There were picnics and expeditions in the summer weather , moonlight sails on the bay , starts before dawn or home-comings at midnight , and often , of nights , the many bedrooms were filled as they had never been before . Tom must cover all his boyhood ramblings , catch trout again on Bull Creek , shoot quail over Walcott 's Prairie , get a deer on Round Mountain . That deer was a cause of pain and shame to Frederick . What if it was closed season ?
