midnight
If she knew the truth , I was certain that E. E. would never be coaxed or reasoned into travelling again , so I determined to keep a still tongue , and never mention this attempt at burglary again to any human creature . I have made up my mind to one thing , though . Phœmie Frost will never travel again without a pistol under her pillow . What good object can any man have in smashing into the midnight dreams of two innocent females , and wanting to examine their pocket-books ? I tremble to think what the feelings of the great Grand Duke would be if he had heard of the terrible danger I have been in . Of course I never closed my eyes again till the long train of cars crept like a great trailing snake into the depot at Washington . Sisters , Washington is splendid just now .
