about ten o'clock
When the little girl who had taken Edith to the mission-house in Briar street got home and told her story , there was a ripple of excitement in that part of Grubb 's court where she lived , and a new interest was felt in the poor neglected baby . Mr. Paulding 's visit and inquiries added to this interest . It had been several days since Pinky Swett 's last visit to the child to see that it was safe . On the morning after Edith 's call at the mission she came in about ten o'clock , and heard the news . In less than twenty minutes the child and the woman who had charge of it both disappeared from Grubb 's court . Pinky sent them to her own room , not many squares distant , and then drew from the little girl who was in Edith 's sewing-class all she knew about that young lady . It was not much that the child could tell .
