about four o'clock
But I was sorry for Purdy just the same . I could see him , over there at Bombazoula , in a suit of lavender pajamas , tryin ' to organise a cotillion with a lot of heavy weight brunettes , wearin ' brass rings in their noses and not much else . And all next day I kept wonderin ' if Aunt Isabella 's scheme was really goin ' to pan . So , when Purdy rushes in about four o'clock , and wants me to come up and take a look at the layout , I was just about ripe for goin ' to see the show . `` But I hope we can shy aunty , '' says I. `` Sometimes I get along with these old battle axes first rate , and then again I do n't ; and what little reputation you got left at home I do n't want to queer . '' `` Oh , that will be all right , '' says Purdy . `` She has heard of you from Pinckney , and she knows about how you helped me to get the snakes . ''
