midnight
You always have . I 'm not blind , Edith . I have known what was going on ; when you were living with us and I had a headache , you used to talk to him , and try and be clever -- to make him think I was dull , when it was only that -- I was too ill to talk ! And you kept him down in the garden until midnight , when he might have been sitting with me on the porch . And you made him go skating . And now you _ look _ at him ! I know what that means .
