ten o'clock
Phil 's answer sounded like , `` Had enough of it ; '' and before Chad could say anything more , Fee began to talk to him . I was surprised , for Felix does n't usually talk to Chad ; but to-night , all at once , he seemed to have a friendly fit . He started Chad talking of his travels ; then he got Phil into the conversation , and then Nora , and he just kept them all going ; he was so bright himself , and funny , and entertaining , that the evening fairly flew by . We were all amazed when ten o'clock struck ; soon after that Chad bid good-night , and we shut up the house and went to bed . ` Most always Phil stops in Fee 's room for a few minutes : he did n't this evening , though ; he just called out , -- a little gruffly , -- `` Good-night , old man ! '' and marched right into his own room . But I went in .
