nine o'clock
Uncle Dick made no rejoinder to this . They had a jolly lunch , getting hot water from the porter for their drink . Bob and the Tucker twins pretty nearly bought out the candy supply on the train , and the girls felt assured that they were completely safe from starvation as long as the caramels and marshmallows held out . By nine o'clock , with the train pushing slowly on , the head locomotive aided by a pusher picked up at the junction , the berths were made up and everybody in the Pullman coach had retired . Betty , as she lay in her upper berth with Libbie , heard the snow , or sleet , swishing against the side and roof of the car , and the sound lulled her to sleep . She slept like any other healthy girl and knew nothing of the night that passed . The lights were still burning when she awoke .
