ten o'clock
Few descendants of Damocles can ! All that was yesterday . I 've waited to-day to write you in the hope of having something new to tell . But it 's now ten o'clock P. M. and there is nothing good ; rather the contrary . Pat has almost if not quite promised to marry Ed Caspian at the end of the week , Saturday , and Mrs. Shuster has hinted at her willingness to become Mrs. Moore on the same day . The knots are to be tied -LRB- devil permitting -RRB- very quietly , at home , in the water-logged drawing-room at Kidd 's Pines . My pleadings to Pat of no avail .
