ten
o'clock
Two days later they came home for Sunday supper , and there was much simple joy and laughter in the little city apartment . Aunt Kate of course had fried chicken and coffee ice-cream for her four big children . Harry Junior , awakening , was brought dewy and blinking to the table , where his Aunt Norma kissed the tears from his warm , round little cheeks , and gave him crumbs of sponge cake . Rose and Harry left at ten o'clock for their country home , leaving the precious baby for his grandmother and aunt to bring back the next day , but the other three sat talking and planning until almost midnight , and Kate could feast her eyes to her heart 's content upon the picture of Wolf in his father 's old leather chair , with Norma perched on the wide arm , one of her own arms about her husband 's neck and their fingers locked together . It was settled that they were to find a little house in East Orange , near Rose , and furnish it from top to bottom , and go to housekeeping immediately . Meanwhile , Norma must see the Melroses , and get her wedding announcements engraved , and order some new calling cards , and do a thousand things . She and Wolf must spend their evenings writing notes -- and presents would be arriving -- !
