four in the morning
I shall bicycle over . ` But all the same it is very odd , and perhaps you and I had better consider what it _ may _ mean . I know from Broomie herself that she gave notice yesterday -- and now she is going to stay . And I know from Forest that father called him up when it was quite dark , between three and four in the morning -- Mrs. Forest thought the Germans had come when she heard the knocking -- and asked him to come with him and undo the gates . Forest told me that _ he _ would have had nothing whatever to do with closing them , nor with anything ` agin the Government ! He 's a staunch old soul , is Forest . So when father told him what he wanted , he did n't know what to make of it .
