about midnight
Ann listened ruefully . She was scared and sorry , but that did not seem to help matters any . She did not want any supper , and she went to bed early and cried herself to sleep . Somewhere about midnight , a strange sound woke her up . She called out to Grandma in alarm . The same sound had awakened her . `` Get up , an ' light a candle , child , '' said she ; `` I 'm afeard the baby 's sick . ''
