midnight
The woman who sells herself -- with or without a wedding ring -- has probably always existed , and probably always will ; but I doubt whether any one of them ever has told -- or ever will -- the full price which she pays in her turn . She deserves all the censure she gets , and more -- but , oh ! she does deserve a little pity with it ! When this girl had been married nearly a year , she heard her husband coming upstairs one night long after midnight , in a condition she had learned to recognize -- and fear . She locked her bedroom door . When he discovered that , he was furiously angry ; as I said before , he was a big man , and he was very strong . He knocked out a panel , put his hand through , and turned the key .
