about 9 o'clock
And there was a lot of talk and laughin ' and they began to dance . And Mitch whispered to me we 'd better go ; that we 'd seen it and we could get to my house so as to let Delia go out and maybe square everything . So we took a different way from what Doc Lyon did , and ran as fast as we could , lookin ' out for corners we turned , and got home . Delia was awful mad ; it was about 9 o'clock now and she could n't go out . She said this wedding was no wedding anyway ; that Nellie Bennett was a heathen , havin ' never been baptized and that people that got married without bein ' baptized committed a sin . She was mad ; but we edged around her , and finally she made some butter scotch for us and promised not to tell on us ; and so did Myrtle and Little Billie . Then Mitch and me began to talk about Doc Lyon and whether I should n't tell my pa so as to have him arrested ; that he was a dangerous character .
