half past ten o'clock
There were seven of the most awful looking men you ever saw , the ones who , I told you , had come into the dance hall at Osages . Among them Lola and Randolph in night clothes , were already lined up against the wall , with their hands above their heads . While one brute stood at the end of the passage pointing his gun at them , one of the others was rifling their room , others had kicked down the girls ' door and one was at the end by Octavia 's . None of the other people , miners of sorts , except one man 's wife , had come in yet , as it was not more than half past ten o'clock ! She was soon pulled out , too , and one brute seized me and roughly threw my hands up while he held a gun to my head . I did feel very frightened , Mamma , but it was all so terribly exciting , it was quite worth while . I wish I had had a revolver .
