Marjorie should have been asleep an hour ago . Miss Prudence 's fur-trimmed slippers touched the toe of Marjorie 's buttoned boot , they were both resting on the register . `` Marjorie , I do n't know what I am thinking of to let you sit up so late ; I shall have to send you upstairs with Prue after this . Linnet 's hour was nine o'clock when she was studying , and look at her and Nannie Rheid . '' `` But I 'm not getting through to be married , as Linnet was . '' `` How do you know ? '' asked Miss Prudence .
