midnight
I feared that I would have to send for you to come home , perhaps only for this term , but Dan wrote , ` Father , use my college money for Jane 's tuition . I 'll work my way through for the rest of this year . ' And that is what he did . Notwithstanding the fact that he had to study until long after midnight , he worked during the day , nor did he stop when he caught a severe cold . He did not let us know how ill he was , but struggled on and finished the year with high honors , but , oh , my daughter , you can see how worn he is . Dr. Sanders tells me that Dan must go to the Colorado mountains for the summer and I have been waiting , dear , to talk it over with you . You will want to go with Dan to take care of him , wo n't you , Jane ? ''
