midnight
Naturally , under the circumstances , Marian feels a peculiar sympathy for her ; her position is such a sad one ; there 's positively no one to care whether she lives or dies -- except her heirs . Of course they all rush to Newburgh whenever she has a fit . It 's hard on Marian , for she lives the farthest away ; but she has come to an understanding with the housekeeper , who always telegraphs her first , so that she gets a start of several hours . She will be at Newburgh to-night at ten , and she has calculated that the others ca n't possibly arrive before midnight . _ Warland _ . You have a delightful way of putting things . I suppose you 'd talk of me like that .
