about eleven o'clock
Dick had none of Digby 's scruples , so the whole plan was soon arranged . Both had thoroughly ill-regulated minds , and rejoiced in mischief for mischief 's sake . Julian came back unperceived , and , in high spirits , told Digby that he was going to have his fun in spite of him . The following night Julian awoke Digby about eleven o'clock , and told him that he must help him to get out of the window , and wait his return to let him in again . Digby expostulated , but in vain ; he had not yet learned that the only sure way for the young to avoid the contamination of evildoers is to keep out of their society altogether . So Digby agreed to sit up till Julian 's return . The rope was secured , Julian descended by it , and off he ran across the lawn towards the wall , over which he had so often before made his escape from the premises .
