midnight
Then last night from some unknown source came a new idea -- an inspiration -- and presto ! the battery is re-charged , life again has its purposes , and I am eager to be at work . `` I said ` some unknown source , ' but it was not altogether unknown . It had something to do with honest old Murdoch , and his good wife pouring coffee for the midnight supper in their cozy dining-room , and Phyllis Bruce across the table ! We never know , Phyllis , how much we owe to our friends ; to that charmed circle , be it ever so small , in which every note strikes in harmony . I know my Big Idea is only playing on the surface ; only skimming about the edges . What the world needs is just friends . ''
