It seemed to me that them two days was longer 'n my hull life, but I fin'ly did git home about nine o'clock in the mornin'. When I got to the house Mis' Jones was on the lookout fer me, an' the door opened as I run up the stoop, an' I see by her face that I was too late. "'When? I says. "''Bout midnight, she says.

So they said they would, and by-and-by they had everything packed up and ready, and when the time came, they started off and got on the train, kitten and all.
