about eleven o'clock
When they got off the train , I sez , sez I , ` There 's another bunch for Sunnyside , cook , parlor maid and all . ' Yes 'm -- six summers , and a new lot never less than once a month . They wo n't stand for the country and the lonesomeness , I reckon . '' But with the presence of the `` bunch '' of servants my courage revived , and late in the afternoon came a message from Gertrude that she and Halsey would arrive that night at about eleven o'clock , coming in the car from Richfield . Things were looking up ; and when Beulah , my cat , a most intelligent animal , found some early catnip on a bank near the house and rolled in it in a feline ecstasy , I decided that getting back to nature was the thing to do . While I was dressing for dinner , Liddy rapped at the door . She was hardly herself yet , but privately I think she was worrying about the broken mirror and its augury , more than anything else .
