eleven in
the evening
`` It 's a pity if a Wall Street banker ca n't carry a lady to a place of amusement , without charging her for the ticket . '' `` If you put it that way , I suppose I must yield , '' said Miss Manning , smiling . Rose was highly excited at the idea of going to see the Japanese , whose feats , as described by Mrs. Florence at the breakfast-table , had interested her exceedingly . The prospect of sitting up till eleven in the evening also had its charm , and she was quite too excited to eat much dinner . `` Really , '' said Mrs. Clifton , `` I quite envy you , Miss Manning . I tried to get Mr. Clifton to buy tickets , but he has n't done it . '' `` First time I heard of it , '' said her husband .
