about six o'clock Saturday evening
They were both taken up eagerly by the students and invited hither and yon by the various groups and societies , which frequently caused them to be absent from meals while they were being dined and lunched and breakfasted . Of course , Julia Cloud reflected , two such good-looking , well-dressed , easy-mannered young people , with a home in the town where they could invite people , a car in which to take friends out , and a free hand with money , would be popular anywhere . Her anxiety grew as the first week waxed toward its end and finished up Saturday night with invitations to two dances and one week-end party at a country house ten miles away . Leslie rushed in breathless about six o'clock Saturday evening , and declared she was too much in a hurry to eat anything ; she must get dressed at once , and put some things in her bag . She rattled on about the different social functions she was expected to attend that evening until Julia Cloud was in hopeless confusion , and could only stand and listen , and try to find the things that Leslie in her hurry had overlooked . Then Allison arrived , and wanted some supper . He talked with his mouth full about where he was going and what he was going to do , and at the end of an hour and a half Julia Cloud had a very indefinite idea of anything .
