eleven o'clock
I did n't wish to be the cause of any silly quarrel between them . But without paying the slightest attention to me , they climbed into the car , and whirled away , leaving me placidly standing on the door mat . I came in and went to bed , and lay awake for hours , expecting to hear -- I do n't know what kind of explosion . It is now eleven o'clock , and the doctor has n't appeared . I do n't know how on earth I shall meet him when he does . I fancy I shall hide in the clothes closet . Did you ever know anything as unnecessary and stupid as this whole situation ?
