midnight
asked one girl , who sat eating cream from a soap dish . `` Have n't the least idea . One of the old girls , I dare say , but who cares when she can conjure up such delicacies ? '' As midnight struck appetites and feast came to an end . `` I vote , '' whispered one girl , `` that we all take off our masks and have a good look at each other , so we 'll know who 's who when we meet in public . '' `` It 's a go , '' whispered several others , and off they all came . `` Let 's have more light , '' said the donor of the cream , and reached up and touched the electric button .
