Describing the parent who grants the later time and then reads until the door opens.
The curfewtrusting parent says eleven and means eleven, and means it kindly. Their trust is real and their hearing, at the window, is excellent. The arrangement works because both sides know the other is awake, and the door closes softly as a courtesy to the act neither admits.
