eleven o'clock
There were happy families of dogs and cats and lions and snakes and little humming-birds ; and in the last part were all manner of bugs , down to the little lady-bugs in blazes of red and gold , and the gray fleas and mosquitoes which Sin improvised with pen and ink , in a swarm at the end . `` And after that , I do n't believe they wanted any more , '' she said ; and handed over the parts to Miss Craydocke to be tied together . For this volume had had to be made in many folds , and Mrs. Ripwinkley 's blue ribbon would by no means stretch over the back . And by that time it was eleven o'clock , and they had worked four hours . They all jumped up in a great hurry then , and began to say good-by . `` This must not be the last we are to have of you , Miss Holabird , '' said Mrs. Ripwinkley , laying Rosamond 's shawl across her shoulders . `` Of course not , '' said Mrs Scherman , `` when you are all coming to our house to tea to-morrow night .
