midnight
` Poor Eva , she ca n't bear the sight of the furniture , so she is going to sleep in Amy 's room , ' announced Vava . ` I should not think Amy would care to see it either , ' observed Stella dryly . Vava saw that her sister had not much sympathy with Eva , and she had certainly brought trouble upon the whole household at No. 2 Heather Road , where they might all have been so happy if they had all done what was right . As it was , Stella and Amy sat up till midnight , talking the matter over and wondering what could be done for Eva , and ending up after each suggestion by deciding that they could do nothing . Amy crept up to her room to get out some things she wanted , and Stella stood upon the stairs to wait for her and hear how Eva was . Amy was some little time , and presently she came on tiptoe to the door , a smile upon her face . ` Just come and look at her , she is sleeping so peacefully , ' she said in a whisper .
