Then he brought out books on the subject, and translated the slightly pompous and technical language into homely every-day speech. Molly had come down to dinner, wondering how the long hours till bedtime would ever pass away: hours during which she must not speak on the one thing that would be occupying her mind to the exclusion of all others; for she was afraid that already she had wearied Mrs.
"Only when you stay on it!" she hastened to say. Eric came round the house by the path just then, and Nils rose, with a yawn. "Mother, if you don't mind, Eric and I will take a little tramp before bedtime. It will make me sleep." "Very well; only don't stay long. I'll sit up and wait for you. I like to lock up myself."
The morning and most of the afternoon were occupied with these games, which seemed to afford much enjoyment to the children and young people. It was the winding up of their Christmas festivities at Ion, and all were in the mood for making it as gay and mirthful as possible. Some the Raymonds among others would leave shortly after tea, the rest by or before bedtime.
The story was a source of intense amusement to Harry, who insisted on the recital of detail after detail, until Desiree allowed her memory to take a vacation and substitute pure imagination. Nor was the improvisation much inferior to the original. It was still light when we finished dinner, a good three hours till bedtime.

She welcomed me feebly, stroked my hair and my cheeks, smiled sweetly, and closed her eyes. My aunt led me away. When bedtime came, I went to my own room, and was soon fast asleep. What roused me I do not know, but I awoke in the midst of the darkness, and the next moment I heard a groan. It thrilled me with horror. I sat up in bed and listened, but heard no more.
"Just to put some sort of a time limit on the thing, I suppose." "You say you surely can get the drive through by then?" Orde laughed. "Sure? Why, it gives me two weeks' leeway over the worst possible luck I could have. You're too almighty suspicious, Joe." Newmark shook his head. "You let me figure this out," said he. But bedtime found him without a solution.
But it was at night, at bedtime, that the hut became generally sociable. Lights-Out sounded at 10.15; and at 10.10 we were all scrambling into our pyjamas. In winter our disrobing was hasty; in summer it was an affair of leisure, and deshabille roamings to and fro in the aisle, and gossip.
