about ten o'clock
Just now I 'm not in any state yet to separate the details from the wild , magnificent jumble of picture galleries and churches , tombs and palaces , parks and gardens , wonderful broad , bright streets , theatres , cafes , and dinner-parties . Of course , all your letters were the main reason that every one was so nice to me . My first day of sight-seeing ended with a perfectly uproarious dinner at the Fessendens ' ; I never in my life ran into such a jolly crowd . I finally discovered which brother Flora belonged to -- which had been puzzling me a good deal before -- because about ten o'clock the other two suggested that we should go out and see if `` we could have a little fun . '' I thought we were having a good deal right there , but of course I agreed , so we went ; and we did . Then -- during the next ten days -- I went to mass at the Madeleine , and to a ball at the American Embassy ; I rode on the top of ` buses , and spun around in motors . We took some all-day trips out into the country , and saw not only the famous places , like Versailles and Fontainebleau , but lots of big , beautiful private estates with farms attached .
