o'clock
Dear Enemy : You doctored the whole house , then stalked past my library with your nose in the air , while I was waiting tea with a plate of Scotch scones sitting on the trivet , ordered expressly for you as a peace-offering . If you are really hurt , I will read the Kallikak book ; but I must tell you that you are working me to death . It takes almost all of my energy to be an effective superintendent , and this university extension course that you are conducting I find wearing . You remember how indignant you were one day last week because I confessed to having stayed up until one o'clock the night before ? Well , my dear man , if I were to accomplish all the vicarious reading you require , I should sit up until morning every night . However , bring it in . I usually manage half an hour of recreation after dinner , and though I had wanted to glance at Wells 's latest novel , I will amuse myself instead with your feeble-minded family .
