midnight
Good night again . '' And with that parting salutation my Gouverneur Faulkner 's voice died from the telephone with what I thought had the sound of a very nice laugh . That Mademoiselle Belle Keith is a dancer of the greatest beauty , and also is the homely Mildred Summers . The two hours until midnight at the home of my lovely Madam Taylor seemed as one short half of an hour to me . I also had the pleasure of conducting the nice Belle home in the Cherry so that I could make a fine display to her of my skill with a motor . In France it would be of a great scandal to allow a beautiful _ jeune fille _ , as is that Belle , and a nice gentleman , such as I declare Mr. Robert Carruthers to be , to go out into the midnight alone and unattended ; but is it that in America the gentlemen are of a greater virtue than in France , or is it that the ladies have that great virtue ? I do not know , but I declare it to be of much interest to remark .
