nearly eleven o'clock before
There was a murmur of approval from the crowd that stood around , and Genslinger , with an angry shrug of one shoulder , took himself away . At length , Annixter brought Hilma through the crowd to where young Vacca was waiting with the team . However , they could not at once start for the ranch , Annixter wishing to ask some questions at the freight office about a final consignment of chairs . It was nearly eleven o'clock before they could start home . But to gain the Upper Road to Quien Sabe , it was necessary to traverse all of Main Street , running through the heart of Bonneville . The entire town seemed to be upon the sidewalks . By now the rain was over and the sun shining .
