midnight
Mother and son sat in silence for some time . He continued to ask questions , but she know no more than the simple facts which she had told . He could do nothing to help , at least , not then , so he reluctantly went to bed . He did not sleep until past midnight . Dorian was not tardy to Sunday School , and , considering his mental condition , he gave a good account of himself in the class . He heard whispered comment on Carlia 's disappearance . After Sunday school Dorian went directly to Carlia 's home .
