ten o'clock
`` Good night , old fellow ! '' `` Keep up your pluck ! '' and various other encouraging expressions , and the party filed out of the door ; Mr. Richards waited to see the last out , and then left Frank to his thoughts .

I wonder what Alice said . I do n't believe she would believe me guilty if all the world told her . ''
