four o'clock
Uncle Jack invited me . I had a new parasol , and he laughed because I would hold it over my shoulder when the sun was in my face . He took me into the side-shows and bought me everything I asked for , on the way home , and we did not get home until twilight . The rest of the family had dined at four o'clock and gone out for a long drive , and it was such fun to have our dinner by ourselves . I sat at the head of the table in mamma 's place , and when Bridget came down and insisted that I must go to bed , Uncle Jack came softly up stairs and sat by the window , smoking and telling me stories . He ran and hid in the closet when we heard mamma coming up , and when she found him out by the cigar-smoke , and made believe scold him , I thought she was in earnest , and begged him off . Yes ; and I remember that Bridget sat in the next room , making her new dress so she could wear it to church next day .
