eleven o'clock
But I like Mrs. Klopton , in spite of the fact that I make her life a torment for her , so I refrained . `` Last night , when the paper said it was going to storm , I sent Euphemia to the roof to bring the rugs in . Eliza had slipped out , although it was her evening in . Euphemia went up to the roof -- it was eleven o'clock -- and soon I heard her running down-stairs crying . When she got to my room she just folded up on the floor . She said there was a black figure sitting on the parapet of the house next door -- the empty house -- and that when she appeared it rose and waved long black arms at her and spit like a cat . '' I had finished my dinner and was lighting a cigarette .
