"Who's there, I say!"
"It's only me, Darrie ... I got hungry in the night and came up to the house to snatch a bite to eat."
"Oh ... I'm coming down to join you, then."
We saw Darrie standing at the top of the stairs, her eyes luminous and wide with emotion.
She stood, rosy-bodied, in her night-dress, which was transparent in the light of the lamp she carried....
"Johnnie's here, too!" warned Hildreth.
"Oh!" cried Darrie, and turned back, to re-appear in her kimono.
"I'm sorry we waked you up. But I knocked that infernal basin down off the sink."
"You didn't wake me. I was awake already. I haven't slept a wink."
"Neither have we!" I responded.
