seven o'clock
Aunt Jane said her head ached and she was going to bed . I said I guessed I would step over to Carrie Heywood 's ; but Aunt Jane said , certainly not ; that I was much too young to be running around nights in the dark . Nights ! And it was only seven o'clock , and not dark at all ! But of course I could n't go . Aunt Jane went upstairs , and I was left alone . I did n't feel a bit like reading ; besides , there was n't a book or a magazine anywhere _ asking _ you to read .
