With 00 thought of the hour of night. Went straight to Bessie's house number. And gave the dear girl ft big fright. 'What, no one to answer my call! They must all be in the back room." So he opened the door without warning And found he was in darkness and gloom. "Bessie, where are you?" he said. Thinking it half past seven "W hy, is it you John? I'm in bed It's now Just half past eleven." |
