In Gopher Prairie it is not good form to be holy except at a church, between ten-thirty and twelve on Sunday. "But if we want to do it, we've got to work; we must have self-discipline." They were at once amused and embarrassed. They did not want to affront this mad woman. They backed off and tried to rehearse.
Jim sank on a bench and turned a face to me that had grown utterly haggard. "It's true, Bupps! I found this on the table when I went home to lunch." He held out a crumpled note written in Helen's rather mannish back-hand. "Jim, "It is now ten-thirty. Frank is coming for me at eleven.
In England, do you think?" "I don't know, Rose. My place is there, because my duty lies there. And now that I have, I think, finished all that I can do here, I ought to be getting back, at once. I ought, I think, to go to-night. At ten-thirty there is a good service to the West, but I cannot leave you alone here.
Then I went up and roasted Rankin for looking so damned astonished at my wanting to go to bed at ten-thirty. Rankin is unbearably righteous-looking, at times. I used often to wish he'd do something wicked, just to take that moral look off him; but the pedestal of his solemn virtue was too high for mere human temptations.
I feared it might walk over me, trample me down, never seeing me. I seemed unable to attract its attention. One morning I found waiting for me at the Reading Room another of the usual missives. It ran: "Will Mr. P. Kelver call at the above address to-morrow morning between ten-thirty and eleven." The paper was headed: "Lott and Co., Indian Commission Agents, Aldersgate Street."
Thus the first number came to be.

At ten-thirty that chilly, dust-blowing morning, when the sun-stricken air glittered with eddies of motes, Joe, sitting at his desk, had the exquisite rapture of feeling the building tremble.
"I find the light spade handier to carry," explained Nicky-Nan in some haste. "But you haven't answered my question." "Well, if you must know, I'm kissin' goodnight to 'Bert here. They've started him upon coast-watchin', and he's given this beat till ten-thirty, from the watch-house half-way to the Cove. I shouldn' wonder if he broke his neck."
Wholesome instruction, my dears; and now to work, every woman Jill of you." At ten-thirty all were again assembled in the big room, and a lively choosing of sides ensued. It was not by any means invariably the older girls who could spell best, for often some of the younger ones led them a fine race.
It was continued and so was the discussion following it; in fact, the discussion seemed likely to go on indefinitely, for the visitor showed no inclination of leaving. At ten-thirty his daughter appeared to inquire about him and to escort him home. Then he went, but under protest. Albert walked to the parsonage with them. "Now we've started somethin'," groaned the captain, as the door closed.
But I might have stood all that for a while yet; I might have given Isabel the benefit of the doubt, since she had asked Paula to chaperon her, and might have found out too late that she had gone for she was gallivanting herself all day; I might have overlooked his staying so often till ten-thirty although I maintain that an unmarried girl living alone on a ranch without even female help is a disgrace to any community yes, I might have swallowed that for a while longer; but this morning at three o'clock I saw with my own eyes, ladles Mr.
