seven o'clock in the evening
`` Where did I go ? '' echoed Patty , in a childish burst of tears . `` Where could I go ? It took all day to be married -- all day long , working and driving hard from sunrise to seven o'clock in the evening . Then when we reached the bridge , Mark dropped me , and I walked up home in the dark , and went to bed without any supper , for fear that you and father would come back and catch me at it and ask why I was so late . '' `` My poor , foolish dear ! '' sighed Waitstill .
